The two-boyfriend problem

I miss the one I left, but I don't want the one I left him for!

    Do they like the same books as me? How can I care for someone who places Radiohead above Yo La Tengo? Are they too centrist for me? Why are they only pesco-vegan and not full vegan? Are they too ambitious for me? Not ambitious enough?

    That IS annoying. Let's be honest and admit, tho, that it's not exclusive to the left side of the aisle. Conservatives often refuse to date people who don't go to the right church, don't vote right, don't attend the right rallies. etc. We all do it, try to find someone with shared values, we all often can't see the forest for the trees.
