The Honey has very different relationship structures and needs than I do. How on earth does he put up with me?

Love. That's all he needs.

I second that.

I disagree. I can love someone I don't even like. Doesn't mean it is good for me to be near them.

That's not the case in this situation. But you are correct, he also needs patience. This is the Honey we're talking about.

I think it's difficult to draw broad lines like, "it's good for me to be near this person" or "it's bad for me to be around that person." Additionally there are different varieties of love. The love you have for the person you may or may not dislike is not the love you share with the person you bring into your home. Not everyone can deal with a high-maintenence mate. Others don't really notice that much and focus instead on the joys that are shared. This creates more of this different breed of love. The english language doesn't account for these different breeds, but I'm sure spanish or italian could help specify the aspects I'm trying to descibe. Unfortunately, I'm not fluent or even very famaliar with either...
