Me too, and I'm curious how either of you have relationships with women if you can't relate to them. What am I missing?
Yes, I can relate to them as well. My wife, in particular, is very cerebral - almost too much so. So while that was awesome at first, as I'm a very cerebral person on the surface, those who get to know me personally (which I'll allow very few to do) get to see a very emotional side under-the-surface. There are astrological reasons for this, which I won't get into here for Rule #4 reasons.
Like Shannon said, we're human. It took time and a deepening of our relationship for my wife to understand and accept how I choose to better myself. She's even gone from commenting "What's that awful noise!?" (referring to the US track - she can hear it unbelievably well) to not commenting at all (of course, she hasn't heard anything since E2). She's also gone from not having any background in metaphysics to referring back to me "lessons" that I used to believe fell on deaf ears. She's very wise, growing wiser, and I'm endeared ever more for it.
Life will unfold for you as it will. You're on a path of self-improvement and evolution. You're going to evolve, all-the-while experiencing greater levels of joy and pain. If you truly want a partner though it all, you'll get one (man or woman...or many men, and many women, lol). I was in the all-is-lost mindset once-upon-a-time, and now I can't even remember what that was like.
