Which best describes your relationship with your spouse or SO?

DBF and I probably couldn't be more opposite if we tried, but we get along great.

 

[ElizK]

We could not possibly be any more opposite! I told DH the other day that the only thing we have in common is our offspring! But he's a good guy, a good father, and lots of fun.

Opposites attract. When we were dating I sort of felt like dh grounded me, and I got him out of his comfort zone. I'm an extrovert and he's an introvert. While we have opposite personalities and differing interests - we have the same goals and basic lifestyles.

 

[Disney Doll]

We're more birds than different, although we do have some differences.

 

[raammartin]

DH and I are a nice mixture of each.

 

[MamaLema]

opposites attract - we barely have anything in common. Not only that but if you looked at us together, you'd never think we're married.

It would be, "Opposites attract and then procede to drive each other crazy!!"

This is so us!

 

[ImarriedGrumpy]

DH and I share similar core values/goals for life, and many similar interests (history, mysteries, cats, books, hospitality, serving, faith, learning, walking, camping, traveling...) but our "styles" and most of our personalities are very, very different. Fortunately (or unfortunately?) we're both low-energy people who aren't into the party scene - but for different reasons. If anyone is familiar with the Meyers-Briggs personality inventory, I'm an INFP and DH is an ISTJ. If you aren't familiar with it, it's a fun tool for understanding personality and style differences if you like these sorts of things. It certainly has helped us communicate better!

The biggest difference between us is I'm an optimist, and Dh is a pessimist. In fact, when I first was meeting his friends and family, they all said "you do know he's grumpy, right?" Yep, I'd caught on to that one...but optimistically decided it wasn't such a big deal! Sometimes it drives me crazy, but usually I don't mind, and I really think he's rather endearing - just like Grumpy from the 7 dwarfs. He's all huffy and grumpy on the outside, but inside he's really a sweetheart.
