My question is about how a marriage with a particular type of woman who is different from me would work out. Here is my situation:
I am a man who needs much structure, am more of a rule follower and does best in a structured lifestyle ( regular job, working for a living, etc), however, I was very attracted and had a relationship for quite sometime with a woman who had the exact opposite profile: Spontaneous, strong willed, independent minded, makes her own rules, traveled around the world by herself, got involved independently in some political organizations, in which she rose to be a regional officer, and lived in different places. All in all spending many years without a traditional job: (She is from Australia where many years ago, you could find ways to do that.)
She was a dynamic person who thrived on a free unstructured lifestyle developing herself and accomplishing much, while I in contrast do much better in a heavily structured working lifestyle.
My questions are the following:
1. Is it unusual for me as a a man who needs much structure, am more of a rule follower and does best in a structured lifestyle( regular working) to be heavily attracted to such a woman as described above?
2. If I greatly appreciate such as a woman, how would the following solution work:
I marry such a woman, live my structured work lifestyle financially supporting her and enjoy admiring her, while with my financial support, she is able to continue in a free lifestyle.
Thanks
