What should you do when your partner is completely opposite?
They Say "Opposite Attracts", but does it really works in a marriage?
What should you do if your better half is completely opposite of yourself and you cannot enjoy same things in life ?
Its impossible that there is no common interest for the two of you.. maybe you'll find some but assuming it's true.. There's a way to it.. Opposites can make for the best couple yes it's true coz when two opposites meet and want to share their life wid each other they moderate themselves and their interests. And begin to see the beauty on the other side too. Like if i have to explain with an example..I am fascinated by Clouds the shapes they make the images of people and so much stuff that i am able to see in them during the noon.. while my crush loves sunsets.. even tho they are both connected.. bcz of the sun clouds are visible during the noon.. while sunsets seem beautiful when the clouds decorate the view.. so basically she is admiring beauty, while i am fascinated by mystery but at the end both are interconnected... I am a huge admirer of English songs while my crush loves songs in our native language Hindi more.. so For her while earlier i would hate on hindi songs and artists and never listen to them but recently when i gave attention to her liking for hindi songs.. i have tried to hear em with an open mind.. and trust me they aren't half as bad as i would think.. i can't say for sure its cz of me or not but lately she has been posting English songs too... We support rival teams in franchise cricket Earlier i had unmatched hatred for her fav. team but as i got to know of the fact.. i have had a open mind towards their fanbase too.. the support for my own team hasn't reduced one bit.. i have come to understand it's obvious that they are just a rival team it's not like mine are angels and her team is devils.. i don't know if a similar change of mind has occurred to her but i hope it must have... there are other things too where we often take contrasting stands.. like she loves to see me give a hot headed anger filled response to any troll while i m more cool calm not giving importance kinda guy.. (and trust me i have been both at different times of my life.. the latter is far more better),
she's more of an extrovert and has so many friends in opposite gender too while i am more of an introvert who finds it hard to talk to opposite gender.. moreover we often troll each other over whoever's team loses during the franchise league.. all in good spirits.. so it's not like you can only enjoy if you have the same interest.. being a couple is less about finding someone with whom all your traits match.. but more about finding someone who will be accepting of your opposite interests..
And i wish to make it clear it's not like we are always in the opposite sides.. there are things where we both hold the same opinions.. sometimes i feel we are both living just parallel lives.. and the thing with parallel lives is you are right next to the other till eternity but there's no point of intersection but then i see the beauty in it too.. bcz intersecting lines diverge as soon as they meet.. but for parallel lines they go on with each other forever.. this is exactly why it's better for people with opposite interests to become a couple.. And one more thing.. all these opposites ensure that spicy element in marriage like if you marry someone completely similar to you there are high chances at one point of time you'll be quite in an autopilot mode in relationship but to marry someone with different interests ensures that you can both if for nothing have a childish rivalry with each other that ensures the child in you two never dies.. like for ex. if her team won this week i would wait eagerly for mine to win the next week.. so as to tease her.. so opposites maintain that enthusiasm in a relationship which is more likely to be lost in orher cases.. and there are many more things we opposite at
And i would not fail to mention that even tho we r both opposites of a lot of things we are still parallels too.. but very often i see myself trying to show her that yea i m like what you like.. and i can't be certain but what my gut says is she does that too..
So as long as both are willing to efforts to accept the other's interest it's perfect.. moreover it will never lead you two to any extremism in anything.. And it's scientifically proved Nature seeks moderation.. extreme traits are rejected in the long run.. hence why Opposites attract.
I hope my answe helps
As we know "change is the only constant". So there's always a updated version of ours in coming days.. So if there is difference we can atleast try to bridge that difference by considering positive changes and including them in our lives.. Applies to both of them.
This is what I have learnt from my observation and experiences.
