Dan Bucatinsky Reflects on 33 Year Relationship With Husband Don Roos

“We were legally married in 2008 only because that’s when America allowed it to happen. We had kids at that point and we were like, ‘I think we should probably make this legitimate,’” Dan told People.

“The key to the longevity is acknowledging our differences and allowing each of us to not expect the other one to share every experience and every interest. We really do allow each other separateness, which really helps,” Dan said of the key to making their romance work.

“Don and I are really different. He loves to be indoors, I love to be outdoors. I’m an extrovert. I really get recharged from being with other people, and Don really gets recharged from his face in a book and some alone time. But we also come together to share so many things that we love.”

“We both make each other laugh, which I think is probably job one,” he went on to explain.

“Listen, at the time when I met Don, he was one of Hollywood’s top screenwriters, and I was working in the box office of the Canon Theatre in Beverly Hills selling cassette tapes for Forever Plaid,” Dan noted of the early days of their romance.

“It’s a natural impulse to really want your other half to join you in all the things that you love, and it’s not necessarily realistic or fair…letting them find the things that they love, and finding the things that you love, and then you come together to raise your kids and your dogs, travel and laugh and watch the shows that you love together and build that sense of home. The two things don’t have to be mutually exclusive,” he added.
