@anita – when I say “always” or “never” I do mean that. He has zero interest analyzing his brain or how it works. He’s content with life and takes it at face value where I am not like that. Again, I am not angry, just simply trying to understand the pros and cons of this type of person. I am not sure whether I am apprehensive simply because it is different than my own way of thinking. When I said “my own way of thinking can be detrimental”, I mean simply because I spend a lot of time over-thinking different situations in my life. I think how I could have been better, what my life goals are, how I can achieve them, how I am feeling, and just anything I can get my brain going on 😉

@hmgale – thank you so much for sharing your personal experience. I agree wholeheartedly with your comments and they’ve actually given me a positive new perspective. Is your partner also relatively unemotional? Do you ever find it hard to share experiences when he doesn’t verbalize how he feels?
I think there is something to be said for having a “yin yang” type of relationship. I just wasn’t sure if that inability to connect with our partners on our over-analytical thoughts was something to be concerned about. I felt we should be able to connect on every single topic and level. Perhaps that’s unrealistic? Sounds like from your experience it’s not something to be concerned about. 🙂
