Polar Opposites or Super Similar?

We are a mix, we are similar it a lot of ways but different in other ways. It is perfect because we can introduce each other to new things.

I think we are both. We have a lot of the same interests and beliefs but then our habits are different such as cleaning and getting things done- completely opposite!

We are a mix of both for sure!

We are a mix of both. We have a lot of the same values and ethics and beliefs but he is more mellow than I am (a little type A over here). We always seem to enjoy a good laugh though!!

My FH Thomas is a Cancer and I am an Aries.
We have different temperaments but they compliment each other well. We draw the best out of each other and learning how to has been quite enjoyable.

I’m starting to Thomas better than Thomas himself at times.And he’s getting pretty good at knowing how to motivate me when I need it most.

I would say that I’m more heart and he’s more brain but I think the best part is that we play off each other and I can be his brain when he’s all heart vice versa.

It sounds like no matter how similar or different we are from our partners - that we all share the same sense of humor!! I guess it would be pretty hard to spend that much time with someone who doesn't have the same sense of humor as you!

We're a bit of both too. We have the same values, sense of humour, we're both more spontaneous than planners and similar tastes in music/movies/tv. I do like country music/rom-cons and he's not a fan though lol. He's more introverted than me and I'm probably more adventurous and outdoorsy. He rather fix something himself where I would call in a professional. He's switched careers a few times and I've stayed on one path. I wear my emotions on my sleeve and he bottles his up.

We’re super similar in most aspects but he’s definitely more “country”. I didn’t grow up on a farm like he did so I guess that makes me a city girl? Lol I still love the country though and rather live out of town vs in the city.

My FH and I are similar with our taste in music, movies, most TV shows, and activities. Differences are our temperaments (I'm full of feelings while he rarely speaks his mind), how we choose to spend our free time, and our energy levels lol.

A bit of both.

He's quieter and more reserved than I am, and he prefers to spend his money on nice things whereas I prefer to spend mine on experiences, which has required us both to compromise, but it's also been good for us as individuals because we have both really expanded our horizons and discovered things we like that we wouldn't have otherwise.

We have a similar sense of humour, although I tend to be a bit cruder and boisterous at times. We are both sarcastic, wry and enjoy poking fun at one another.

We have some similar interests, some that don't align, but mostly both take an interest in the things the other likes. I'm more into outdoorsy stuff like backpacking, camping and hiking, whereas he would rather spend his free time making things, cleaning or working on his car, or playing videogames. Before we began dating, he hadn't taken a vacation in over 5 years, but has since learned to appreciate the value of R&R. All his friends and family have commented to me numerous times that he has chilled out like a million percent since we met lol

He's more of an introvert whose energy is depleted with socializing, and typically, whatever he contributes to a conversation is high-value and well thought out. I'm what you'd label an ambivert, in that being around others both charges me up but depletes me after too much - I don't function well without enough social time or with too much and need to strike a balance, so it has been very healthy for me to have an introverted partner to stay home with rather than go out socialising all the time, which is what I was doing when I was single.

We both love hosting and prefer it over going out. And we met playing soccer, so that's obviously a mutual interest.

All in all, I'd say we balance each other out really well and our differences tend to push us to be better, more balanced individuals than we were when we were single or in previous relationships.

Polar opposites for sure.

We have different interests ( he's more spontaneous as I'm more of a orgazined planner) and priorities. Husband loves to go to the boat whenever he can and drag me when tries hard instead of working around the home to make it safer/solid.

I on the other hand, I clean up and have donated items to goodwill type of stores and sold movies we don't even watch any more.

I like to think we're a good balance for each other. At the base of things, our values are the same. But we also bring out traits in each other so that while we were different, we are now more similar in them:

I bring out his consideration for others and since together, I think his relationships with his family have improved overall. He brings out my adventerous spirit, and gives me more ambition.

We both come from hard family backgrounds, so we know we have to work hard on our relationship. We always work to be on the same page in terms of communications and showing each other we love each other.

That being said, he's really sporty and that super likeably friendly party boy. I'm that book worm, semi nerdy, a bit standoffish girl.

We're about half and half. My partner and I are both super dorky about things like video games and philanthropy. He's more in to sports and hanging with friends, and I'm a pretty big fan of cats and sleeping. Our families are total opposites so our upbringings were completely different, but our core beliefs are the same. We balance each other out, he's a business owner who needs to worry about the bottom line, and I'm a social worker working with vulnerable people. So the same, but also super different.

My fiance and I are very similar to this.

Same values, day-to-day habits, both want the same things... but I had a very privileged upbringing, went to and finished post-secondary, he dropped out after grade 10. Very rough adolescence/young adult in terms of getting into trouble... he also craves adventure a bit more than me, however we both want to travel together and experience the world. (He's very jealous of my extensive traveling I did as a teen due to my step dads job).

But our parents are both super loving and supportive, and we find our common ground... and together we are a perfect yin and yang. I am organized, a bit controlling, a planner, Type A... he is free spirited, laid back, and go with the flow. I'm the brains. He's definitely my brawn. We are a solid match

Opposites in that I am loud, outgoing, talk to much. have been on my own since pretty much 17.

similar in that we both LOVE sports, similar movies and similar music. love travelling. both have same ideas on family, religion.

we came from different backgrounds in terms of parents money (my g-parents had very little, his mom/stepdad do well for themselves). but our families have similar ideas/personalities/ideals.

Personalities are complete opposites: he’s an extrovert, I’m an introvert. We share some interest but not others. But, our sense of humour is exactly the same!

...the tracks type of family. People think we're opposites cause I'm a suburban princess and he's kinda rough but that's just outside image stuff. On the inside we're like the same person!!

(Not sure why it posted halfway through)

We're the same person in some ways, same sense of humour, same love of adventure and travel, same need to live outside the box and love to party but in other ways we're total opposites, I'm highly educated and he hasn't even been to high school, I'm a total night owl and he's an early bird, I love house music, he's into gangsta rap, I come from a snobby thinks their too good for you family and he comes from the wrong side of

Pretty darn similar. We have the same humour, stubbornness, and goals and family values. We are almost creepily on the same page...
