Try a session with a family counsellor—not because you have a major crisis, but because practical tools can help.

We went through the same thing. The difference itself is not the problem; the problem begins when each person tries to change the other. Acceptance is easier than forced change.

This is completely normal. Give each person independent time without guilt, while protecting a regular period of shared time together.
