That’s very interesting… in this case it was actually the opposite. I was the spiritual atypical and my ex partner was the atheist (?) typical. Though they never committed to any belief label.
We did have a lot of problems with those things you mentioned though. They cared a lot about loyalty and belonging, but I needed quiet and calm. Often I would slowly be chased around the house, one seat at a time lol. One of many reasons it wasn’t particularly healthy in retrospect.

Was she raised atheist? I’ve found atheists raised religious have often done a lot more grappling.
(see cousin comment) yep they were raised in a non-religious household
