Can I rant

"Women are like that ..."

Not all of us are like that, but MOST of us are. There are a few ladies who would rather hang out in the shop with their love building something and getting dirty but the vast majority would rather be at the mall dragging their man around to endless stores shoe shopping or some crap.

People can get along fine having separate interests but when one's lack of enthusiasm impacts the other's enjoyment of life so much -- or makes the other feel guilty for enjoying it -- then there's definitely a problem. And if you have problems like that now (as has been said more often than not in the responses above), it isn't going to get any better in the future and will most likely just get worse. Resentment builds up in both parties ... you're mad because she's not into the car and she's mad because you aren't into shoes ... and unless both parties are willing to concede a little and make a solid compromise, it's just going to escalate and get worse until someone blows up.

Personally, though we obviously don't know everything here, based on the initial rant I see a blow up in the future of this relationship. Whether it happens next week or in twenty years is up to you. Just don't waste your life waiting for her to change her mind because she probably won't. Will you???
