Can you name some things you and your partner appear to have in common?
Hello everyone!
Let's discuss about having something in common with people we are in a relationship with.
* Is it important to have something in common?
* Can you name some things you and your partner appear to have in common?
@BeyondTheInvisible I dont think it is impotant to have interests and personality traits in common. In fact, my partner and I are extreme opposites. Yet, we share some common core values and principles which I think makes our life easier and more fruitful.
I need relationship advice
@Emptyfeeling
Hello @Emptyfeeling!
You can discuss about the topic you need to talk about by joining a listener for teens or you can interact with others by creating a thread in which you explain your situation and your struggle, maybe someone having lived same experience can reply to you and it can help you reflect to find your way to face things.
Suppose in the teen side you also have a room for relationship support? Conversing in there would be an option too.
Wish you a good weekend, take care!
@Emptyfeeling
What kind of relationship advice are you looking for? Are you in one and struggling? Single and looking? The conversations in the forums, chatrooms, with listener and with therapists are all really helpful and in different ways. Depending on your needs, some of these options may be more benefical than others. I know this was posted a while ago- but I am new here and just wanted to reach out.
@BeyondTheInvisible Hello! :)
* Is it important to have something in common?
I believe that it is important to have things in common with your partner as more differences can cause more problems rather than more similarities, but that is only based on my personal experiences. It is not the same for everyone.

My husband and I both have the same goals and wants for our future, especially in regards to how we want to teach and guide our kids as we raise them.

Hi @SaimaK !!
Thanks for sharing your opinion and experience!
I am glad to hear that you are living on the same wavelength with your partner, keep on going !!
Cheers!
@BeyondTheInvisible Thank you so much! :)
Believe it or not, we have the same birthday. We both drive small cars, she is planning to get a hybrid, maybe like mine. We like a lot of the same music (I like just about all music). We both like cats as pets. We have both been married once. We enjoy walking/hiking. I like almost all the same foods she likes, and all the same drinks (neither one of us drinks alcohol). Neither one of us is religious. We are both very supportive people and help our friends whenever we can. Neither of us likes gardening unless we can do it with someone. That should be enough for now.
And now it seem we both enjoy the pagentry of Christmas, and celebrating it with family.

Yes I think it is important to have some things in common. It's what holds us together.
My wife and I love to run and bike together. And we both love the beach...but actually that doesn't count..who doesn't?!?
