I like change more than OH. Ive travelled more, changed jobs more, moved more, would love to give working abroad a go, etc. He's more traditionally 'stable'.
Neither outlook is right or wrong of course. But the difference does cause problems. Often we make a great couple as we compliment each other. But in my low times I feel trapped and unable to satisfy my urge to just get on and do things.
I think the default in life is always to stick with the status quo (ie if you want to change something both parties have to agree) and that means I feel like I'm always compromising and he's not.
We're outgrowing our house, now have kids and would really benefit with a bit more room. We both agree on that.
We're not going to be able to move locally for the foreseeable future as we're in an expensive area and can't afford the next step up. Today I mentioned an area I'd be interested in moving to (could be doable with work). He snapped back and it resulted in him saying he never wanted to leave the area we live in. Ever.
Where we live is OK, but its certainly not where I want to spend the rest of my life. He knows that there are things that make me unhappy (I'm far more outdoorsy and hate hearing traffic noise). We could afford a bigger house in a cheaper (but IMO nicer) area but he won't consider it as he has friends here.
Just feels like we're pulling in different directions and we're never going to agree.
