What are differences between you and your partner?

I am old and she is young, and honestly the generation gap is a real big deal, lol! but on the other hand, although we really have opposing personalities, the law of attraction is really great. Like a magnet, opposites attract each other and bonds together, lol! I think that differences would surely tend to compliment each other to be completely whole.

I think a relationship really works if the two people are opposite to one another but does their best to love each other. Me and my boyfriend too, we learn so much from each other. It's both a disadvantage and an advantage too. My boyfriend is a confident man. He has enough self-confidence, and self-esteem for himself. He's a positive-thinker and he's always focused on his goals. He's good in his studies. He's also good in saving money. He only gets few allowance from his mother but I always wonder how he always have enough money. I, on the other hand, is a very shy girl. I am often worried and not confident about myself. I'm a negative-thinker and I always doubt myself. Sometimes I'm lazy, and it shows in my grades in school. I'm also materialistic and I always end up being broke because I love spending my money on makeup, clothes, and shoes. We're totally the opposite of each other but it's good because he's the one motivating and inspiring me whenever I'm down. Because he's a very positive and confident guy, he's the one who always gives me the pep talk. He believes in me and makes me feel good about myself which is the best thing about him. He can also understand the way I spend my money. Sometimes he doesn't permit me to spend anymore when he knows I'm already spending too much. He also serves as my inspiration in my studies. Ever since he became my boyfriend, my grades in school has really improved!

Hi porsocpino Me and my wife are quite opposite of each other and I find this "being opposite" which bought us together and even what makes us stay together. I have always been a worst time manager, a worst money manager, someone who always lacks patience and my wife is 100% opposite of me. This not only completes us but also keeps the love sparks alive. To us, these differences between us are advantageous for our relation - they kind of complete what we lack in us. Though at many times, we do start arguing, discussing and even fighting but we do feel that these arguments etc are short lived and we overcome them quicker as we do respect and recognize the "individual" thing.

Hahahha....nice question every thing is different between me and husband but main difference is they are very less talkative and I am more talkative. He is more smart than me. He is shy and I am open thinking nature.

I'm a right-handed, she's a left-handed; I'm an organized person but she doesn't; I plan everything but she does thing out of sudden; I watch english series but she enjoys chinese drama. I'm a socialist that work 8 hours a day but she work more than 12 hours in a capitalist company. Anyhow, we go along pretty well, and I do agree that it is a good thing that both of us aren't alike.

I think me and my husband different worlds. I am very dreamy person and expects everything to be perfect. He loves reality. I am more expressive and talkative but he is reserved type. I love poetry, fictions etc. He loves history, socialism etc. I spend more on jewels and dresses. He is strict with budget and wants anything simple. I make quick decisions, take risks and win things. He is very cautious, makes slow moves and really never care for the result. Beyond all these we share a great love and bondage. We have a lovely son, and a happy family. Our arguments don`t last long. He is very good at convincing me. I think differences are good otherwise you get bored. Same poles repel and opposite poles attract each other. If you share true love, these differences are nothing before it.

Every individual are unique in his/her own way. The differences as you says is like the magnet, where north pole and south pole attracts to each other. I and my husband have many differences. We had a huge age gap, so our thoughts and priorities obviously have a vast differences. He likes to read newspapers, take time to do every thing and I am an impatience type where things must be done as soon as possible. I love to live life and seize the moment. Every moment to me must be used fruitfully and in a special memorable way. I love to watch concerts, musical, theme parks and I appreciate artistic and nature's beauty. To him it is waste of time and money. So, I have decided in the future if he does not want to watch any musical, he can stay in the hotel room and watch the television while I and my son can go to those great musical and concerts.

I am like your husband. I am finally cleaning out the basement of old clothes from materinty when I carring my children to clothes from college and high school and old text books that I never even touch to old toys from my childhood. I picking through stuff of few things I still want to keep but not much. My children are really happy I am doing this. I also painting the upstairs. Did end room where my young daughter of 19 sleeps when she home and middle just been painted a tangerine color for my older daughter who graduates from college on may 12 and moves back in with me for while. Then I starting my room which I picked light green. Cleaned out there rooms and my room of old clothes and donated them to charity. I got rid of Movie camera, heater, old fans like 1970s etc... very old dresser that we would never use again. I am feeling better but a emotional toll deciding to let it go finally. My partner much more neat than me and like to fix things around the house for or gives me clues or ideas if I want to do by myself etc... he loves his showers and I enjoy my baths. We are both light sleepers too and morning people. He loves paying for things in cash and does not like makes sure he takes it back to get a refund... I am not always that quick to judge a item. I not very good sticking to a budget either...actually I hate it... I know I have do it to keep track of the money but it is really a chore for me. Thanks Unique16

Not much difference... A few that I can think of is he has a deep, loud voice, while I have a soft voice. Apparently, I whisper... instead of talk! It's just the way I am, although I try my hardest to speak a little louder, at times. He's the leader, while I'm the follower. It's funny because when I'm with my friends or back home, I'm the leader. Friends follow whatever I want to do. Don't get me wrong, he lets me make some decisions and suggestions, but I just like the way he leads. He is the white bread, while I'm the brown bread :D - he came up with that, as he is Caucasian and I'm Asian. When we have breakfast in restaurants/cafes, the waiter would ask if we would like brown or white bread, and he would say. "isn't it obvious? I like brown, and she likes white"... :D I feel that we both have more similar points than differences. We believe that we complement each other.
