With someone who is just like you, or someone who is different, in your relationship? Sometimes, when people argue, i've heard people say that it's because, "they're too much alike." Can you ever be too much alike, and if so, is this a good thing, or is it a disaster waiting to happen?

I don't think there's a definite answer to this question because it depends on the people involved. Sometimes opposites attract and it leads to a great relationship....sometimes it has the reverse effect. Being exactly alike can be awesome or it can be annoying after a while. The 2 people involved and their personalities and level of commitment are what will make or break a relationship.

My husband and I are alike in a lot of ways but different in ways that really matter, such as he is a tight wad, I am a big spender. In those areas we balance each other out.
On the other hand, my son and I are alike in almost every area, one is strong will, and stubborness, this leads to big arguments and neither one willing to back down.
I think it depends on what the differences are. Say if you are religious and he is not, that would be a problem.Or if he does not have good hygiene issues. I have heard many say I can change him. I would not even go there.
Again I just think it depends on the differences.

Sometimes it can be good and bad because that person may share the same values as you do but from a broader perspective its a little normal to agree to disagree but when you find yourself disagreeing too much then your relationship may have a problem.No two people can ever be alike except twins but take to heart you both may share the same values thats all.

I think its a really bad thing when people are to much alike. My mother and older sister are just alike and don't get along at all. I think it's good to be about 50/50.

Depends on the person and how they handle situations when it comes to an arguement. People argue to win and are known to butt heads before compromising. If neither one is willing to resolve the issue, that same issue/arguement will be brought up time and time again and nothing good will come from this.

I would rather be with someone like me. I think if you are different this causes a lot of problems. I have heard the differences work for some people, but it hasn't worked for me. I think a few differences would be OK but the bulk of your values, morals, etc. should be similar or you are going to have a lot of fights.

i think that , at least for me, it is better to be alike because when i am with someone who is different, that means there is nothing in common. when there is nothing in common, eventually it doesn't work out.

WE HAVE SIMILAR QUALITIES, AND WE HAVE SEPERATE QUALITIES. WE BALANCE ALMOST TO PERFECTION.
