I think I got really lucky with my girlfriend. She’s widely accepted as very pretty, always well groomed and refined, and it’s not like she lacks attention from other guys. But despite all that she’s super loyal to me. She’s the kind of girl who’s disciplined, goes to the gym, does pilates, loves reading… and almost perfect CAP of 5.0. Basically the type you’d call wife material. The thing is, I’m more of the adventurous type. I like drinking, clubbing, just being out and enjoying the night life. I always imagined my partner would be into that too. She’s introverted, so it’s not really her thing. Even then, when I ask her to come along, she does, and she is understanding. But I can tell she’s uncomfortable. She sits there quietly, not really having fun, and it makes me feel guilty for dragging her out. I feel conflicted. She’s almost perfect for me in every way, caring, supportive, loyal. But part of me still wishes she’d be more adventurous, more into trying things outside her comfort zone. I’d love it if she enjoyed the things I do instead of just enduring them for me.
I’m stuck wondering if I’m just being selfish. Should I accept her as she is since she’s already giving me so much? Or is it fair to want more from a partner, to want someone who shares that thrill with me? I know nobody’s perfect, but sometimes my brain just keeps focusing on that things that’s missing
