An interesting question; something to think about

How does your personality compare to your spouse/significant other?

As the old saying goes..Opposites attract, that may be so but from my experience, they don't last.


The reason I am asking is because I was talking to my oldest son way until the wee hours this morning.
Him and his girlfriend (Joey) have decided to take a break.
They have been together for 5 years, ever since
Zach was a sophomore in high school. The have been living together for 8 months.
I knew when they moved in together, it was going to either make them or break them.
Those two are absolute complete opposites. Joey is
extremely strong-willed and domineering. Zach on the other hand is extremely laid back and easy going.
He is a people person and likes to flirt.
Joey is more of a home body. I had noticed these past few months Zach started doing things without
Joey and from what I have been told they also have been fighting a lot.



All that got me to thinking. My first husband and I were complete
opposites. He is/was self absorbed, materialistic, and self centered. To this day the world revolves around him.
I am the complete opposite of all those traits.



Now Jay and I have some of the same traits. Neither of us is
materialistic or self centered. I always put other people first. I am
stubborn but Jay on the other hand is not. I am a people person, I like to visit and talk while on the go.
I could be standing in line and meet the people near me.
I like to be part of whats going on instead of a spectator. Jay is more reserved and shy. Jay is also more easy going, and I am on the high strung side.
So in a lot of ways we are opposites.


What about you and your spouse/ significant other?

In a lot of ways Don and I are alike. We are both quiet and like to spend time alone reading or on the computer. We both like to spend time outdoors and enjoy nature a lot. However, he is tight with money and I am not. I could give all my money/possessions away and not think twice about it. Don would prefer hoarding his money in the bank and going without possessions if it meant spending his money for them.

My first husband and I were very different. He loved to party and hang out with people. He never wanted to be home. He and I fought like cats and dogs about so many things. It's a wonder we didn't kill one another.
