My main squeeze and I have 35 years together. I call him my main squeeze or my first husband, just to keep him on his toes. We get along beautifully except when we don't. We have lots of separate interests & separate friends. We're totally different and compromise on everything. And we also are totally sympatico on some things, like our two sons and playing music. It works. Also, we both sowed a lot of wild oats and had other partners before we got together, and that was very good for the relationship (the learner's permit notion).
