Before I met my wife, I was convinced that people should only date someone who they have a lot of shared interests with.
In reality, that can get rather boring quickly.
If two people are exactly the same, what is there to explore and discover about the other person that you don’t already know yourself. In that sense, I think it’s beneficial to explore romantic relationships with people who have distinct and unique traits that are different from your own. When I started to look at dating like that, I started to have better relationships. This directly led to me finding my wife. I was looking at various profiles on a dating website and came across hers. I noticed that she was a huge fan of horror films while I am not. At first I considered passing up her profile, but I decided to match with her instead. Our first date was full of excitement because we both had so much to discover about the other person that we didn’t know. Subsequent dates were filled with even more excitement. At the time my wife had never tried cannabis, but after talking to me about the plant it became clear that she wanted to try it for herself for a change. I’ll never forget the first time she tried it, as her eyes widened and she experienced a massive wave of euphoria. Now that we’re married, my wife is a regular user of medical cannabis like I am. She uses cannabis to treat her migraines and insomnia issues. I use medical cannabis for pain from kidney stones, which I get regularly from having kidney disease. I know of a lot of people who benefit from using cannabis in a medical context.
