What do you think? Should two people be really, REALLY similar in their interests, personalities, etc. to make a bf/gf relationship work? OR! Should they be almost polar opposites with a few of the same interests? Those of you who are married, or are thinking of getting married, or have split from your hubby/bf because of personality similarities/differences, are you exactly like your mate? Or are you totally different? And what is your personality? I'm just curious...(and I'm not quite sure what I'm lookin for in a man =P)
Thanks! <3

I don't think it will ever work if someone is too much like you. I met someone like that about 2 years ago, and now we tell everyone that we're brother and sister. He's the most awesome guy in the world and I love him, just not in that way. He has been a great friend and helped me a lot at the beginning of my relationship with my current boyfriend who has the same morals and goals as I do, but a much different personality. We compliment each other in many ways though. I guess I have the best of both worlds.

Some people only get along with others who are exactly the same, others like total differences, most people are somewhere in the middle. There is no answer one way or another, it depends on the people.

My husband and I are the same in the key areas: goals, family, religion, neatness-factor, financial/spending styles, health/fitness, food preferences (healthy not junk), and general lifestyle. This is what makes the marriage work.
We're different in our hobbies and interests (he's a doctor who likes computers; I'm a creative type) but we also share some hobbies.
If our key areas weren't the same, the marriage wouldn't work.

There had been studies done that relationships that are really similar don't last because they can get boring and predictable. The old saying "opposites attract" is true and has stood the test of time.

not a lady but I have the answer. one word "commitment".
You have it or you don't. Marrages fail because one or both parties aren't committed to it. Sometimes they fail because of lies told before the marrage like wanting kids when she never did or liking sex when she wished it had never been invented. That stuff happens but the biggest cause is a lack of commitment.
you won't put your socks in the hamper so I'm leaving you is just an excuse to quit.

it's okay to be a little different, as long as both are willing to compromise.
as for u girly, date around, that's the best way to figure out what u are into
