It’s nice that he loves animals so much, that’s great, but tbh he doesn’t sound like much FUN. And as a middle-aged married person, mostly happily married to the same man for a number of years, if I can pass on any wisdom to the younger generations about relationships, it would be that you don’t have to have the same interests at all, but you do need to find someone who doesn’t take life too seriously.
I agree too. A friend once remarked to me “ I couldn’t understand how you and ( insert name of beloved husband of over 40 years) got together as you seem to have nothing in common then I realised how much you laugh together”
