Did you ever hear the sentence:
Opposites attract!
I heard it a thousand times, and I thought it was true. Somehow, when a person is your opposite it looks more interesting, but for how long? And in what point your opposite personalities become a divider between you?
This story was inspired by recent events in my family. My uncle got suddenly sick, while on vacation in the mountains, he had a stroke and ended up in coma, but his condition is improving. Since we are not allowed by the hospital to visit him, we saw his wife. And there my story got inspired.
They are one of those couples who argued about everything, and I mean everything! Whole day, every day. I always thought that they are not happy, and wondered why did they stay all those years together. And while talking to my aunt, I realized - love. Even when she talked how she is mad that he didn't look after his health, and how he never listened to her advice, every sentence ended with:
I can feel his pain everyday.
They looked like a "bad" couple, but in truth they were same person in two bodies. They argued, but stuck together trough thick and thin. And only love and respect can do that.
And it made me wonder, do opposites attract?
Since I am in a happy relationship (after a few not so happy ones) and I have enough years and experience, my opinion is - NO. But, maybe you and I have different opinions on what opposites really are.
I don't expect every relationship in my life (with a partner, friend, relative) to be perfect. I am pretty stubborn, and not a type of person who will give in a fight, and so it's not always easy to be by my side. But, I can see trough out the years that opposites may attract for a while, but it's the shared values in life that make long-term happy relationships.
You don't have to agree on every subject, but the most important ones like family, house, money, work, health you should have common ground to make it work.
What do you think? Be sure to leave me a comment!

I think its better to have some common ground. Its easier to talk to and maintain relationship. Of course with hard times one has to remember that there is no love without forgiveness, and there is no forgiveness without love.

My experience says that the key are not opposite interests, but an ability to communicate @tamacvet. Understanding each other is by far most important thing.

I would say yes opposites do attract, but like everything in life it's not always true. Generally when it comes to relationships we all want someone who can relate with what we are feeling it can be our opposite it can be our breed. It's different per person

Good point there! My idea is that opposites attract for a shorter period of time, and I love life-long relationships..
