In our quest for happiness in life many of us look for that perfect person in which to spend the rest of our lives. We typically have some idea of what that person acts like, feels like, and even looks like. In some cases we may be greatly surprised to find our gift in a different package. In other cases we find exactly what we had in mind.

In addition to knowing what type of person we are looking for, we also know what type of things we want out of life. Most people usually have some sort of outline of the things that they desire. While all of the details may not be there, the skeleton usually exists.

For example, most people have an idea on whether or not they want to have children. They have an idea of how big they want their family to be. They have decided what area they want to live in and if they are willing to move away from their homeland roots. They have an idea of the type of career they want and what type of lifestyle they wish to live. Most people know if they desire a quick pace city life or a more relaxed life in the country.

With all of these things in mind, it can be very difficult if one is placed with the decision to decide between the two- your ideal of life or love. What happens when the person of your dreams does not match your dreams?

While to some of you this may not seem possible, it can happen. Suppose you meet this dreamy man. The two of you hit it off and have several dates. You fall head over heels. You then discover that he has no intentions of having children and wants to travel around the world. You would like children and are a home body.
