can two very different people make a good long term relationship? - GoFuckYourself.com

quiet · 10-25-2004, 09:22 AM

i've really only gone out with girls very similar to myself in terms of world view, interests and sense of humor. do you think a long term relationship is possible with someone *very* different than yourself?

Webcam Guru · 10-25-2004, 09:24 AM

Yes, look at Tiger Woods

jukeboxfrank · 10-25-2004, 09:27 AM

NO the more like yourself the better off you will be.

{fusion} · 10-25-2004, 09:27 AM

dont think long term until you got to know each other.

Rob · 10-25-2004, 09:27 AM

Opposites do attract.

The girls I've had long term relationships were exact opposite of me. The ones I had a lot in common with were the ones that I didn't get a long with.

How is she different than you? You should reveal a little more I think....

beemk · 10-25-2004, 09:31 AM

if you have to even question it, long term should be out of the question.

Jer · 10-25-2004, 09:34 AM

My wife and I are very similiar in some terms and totally different in others. We've been together* for 7 years.

* long distance relationship for over 5 years

kristydoll · 10-25-2004, 09:36 AM

People who are opposites in many areas can usually get along really well as long as they share the same views on the bigger things in life (morals/family values, etc).

SmutGiant · 10-25-2004, 09:36 AM

My ex g/f and I had completely opposite views on everything... we fought constantly. The only thing that kept that relationship dragging on was the sex. We both knew exactly what to do to please each other in the sac

Same here

okny · 10-25-2004, 11:26 AM

If the sex is good then everything else goes out the window.

detoxed · 10-25-2004, 11:50 AM

depends how hot they are and how rich they are. lack of money and lack of sex brings out the bad.... keep those in check and it'll be ok

Well you are weird and everything

Dagwolf · 10-25-2004, 11:58 AM

That's a really hard question to answer.

Ask the guys who married women from overseas during any war; they could probably tell you better. I'm sure their wives were VERY different when they first met.

It depends on whether or not your your differences are complimentary or not and how willing each of you are to listen and learn from each other.

Don't get me wrong. Your significant other needs to be alil different in order for you both to compliment each other in various areas. However if you are saying that 2 ppl are drastically different, I don't think that would work for a long-term relationship as you need some kind of commonalities for a long term foundation.

brutus · 10-25-2004, 12:23 PM

Yes - its possible - I have over 7 years experience of it.
