Opposites attract
My friend and I got in a long discussion about how opposites attract and people who are like you are better suited for friendships than for relationships. The fun part is when we were speaking about our foibles – OCD, fast moving, impatient, overscheduled – we both looked at each other and laughed and said, damn, I wouldn’t want to live with you!
More importantly, it made us both realize how lucky we are to have partners who are calm and patient, who put up with our insanity. I’ve met a lot of head scratchers in my time – people who scratch their head about my choice in a partner and me scratching my own head about other’s choices. But as I told a close friend the other day, no one knows what goes on behind closed doors, no one.
