Ah, but often, the devil is in the details. I'd say that since the two of you aren't married and aren't likely to be in the same city long enough for that to happen (smile), I wouldn't worry about it. But I would just throw in a teeny tiny word of caution and please don't think I'm throwing a wet blanket over it all.
I recently ended a 5 year relationship with someone who was different than I am and in time, the differences that I thought were just, well, 'differences' became more than annoying. What I originally saw as spontaneity manifested itself in time as poor impulse control; what I saw in the beginning as youthful energy boiled down to an inability to focus and make a decision.
In addition, he worked 100 miles from where we lived and and he is a home contractor, specializing in whole house renovations. This usually meant that he lived in the vacant house where he was working during the week and came home on weekends. Problem was that sometimes he had to skip a weekend here and there and although we talked on the phone four or five times a day, eventually I got tired of having an 'electronic' relationship. He's a good guy, we are still very good friends and sometimes I'm saddened that it didn't work out over the long term, but I'm honestly grateful that we never took the topic of marriage past the talking stage.
The cynical side of me says that a man who has never been married or had a long term relationship by the age of 40 has issues with commitment. As I've been unfortunate enough to be involved with two such creatures back to back, I know a little bit about what I'm talking about. Having said that, however, there are exceptions to every rule and it sounds like you're happy, so in the end, that's all that really matters. Wishing you all the very best! (^_^)
