hey,
I am just wondering about something my bf said today. It seems I managed to bring out the worst in him. 
Punctuality have never been my strong points and I was late by hour today to meet him and he went off ballistic. There is a reason of course for my being late but he wouldn't hear it. He thought I wasn't giving him any respect!
What a match we are! I think its true that 'opposites attract".
Please share with me who brings out the worst and the best in you?

Punctuality is a big thing with me. When someone is late, it tells me that they don't consider me important and my feelings don't matter, my time is not as valuable as theirs. Lateness, particularly habitual lateness, tells me that the person doesn't respect me and I'm a bother to them. Could you not have called and let him know?
That brings out the worst in me, along with bad manners and conceit.

okay! no that is not a habit of mine. it wasn't a date, I told him last night, I want to meet him the next day but he said he will be going off work soon.
But then this morning, he changed his mind and called me but I have already started some morning chores and was late for the meet.
I did said "sorry" but he was not even reasonable so I ended up feeling bad.

Sorry for judging you without knowing the facts! 
Apparently he is someone who needs to know times and dates. I guess you will have to accommodate his needs if you want to avoid these blow-ups. I think his being upset was unjustified.

yeah! But I feel both parties should try to accommodate each other sometimes. Rite.
The thing is he is not so flexible and is strong character not like me "soft n mushy". No wonder we attracts!

wow an hour late sustance, I like your boy friend would be really irritated as I am always on time or ahead a bit, and if I am going to be late for some unavoidable reason I would always let the other person know. My hubby was a lot like you, and It used to irk me so because he never c alled or any thing to explain why he was so late. grrrrrrrrrrrr.He was the one to always bring out the best and the worst in me. He was always too cold at night, I was too warm, he was outgoing and trusted every one, i was very shy , and sometimes suspicious of someone until I knew them.but we did get along wonderfully as I think we fit together like pieces of a puzzle, we each completed the other.I have b een a widow since 1991so its been a long time, but i still miss him at times.Myson is a lot alike in that he also brings out the best and the worst in me too. He is a bit like his dad in that he is outgoing and too trusting of everyone. me I am still shy, and not nearly as trusting as I have learned not to be.

Hello Sub!
When I am provoked beyond a limit, worst may come out of me
and I may lose my temper in a jiffy. However, when something
good has happened to me and that is in mind, I would be good
to all others and would treat them with respect and love. It
does not mean that I do not give respect to others, under the
normal circumstances.

aww... haha an hour huh... hmm...
anyway on your topic, i guess since i have no partner yet, my mom brings out the best and the worst in me. But they can always handle it since they know me so much more than i can possibly know myself... ^_^
