The Upside To Loving Someone Who Is Your Complete Opposite

Opposites do attract.

The Upside To Loving Someone Who Is Your Complete Opposite

If you're dating someone who you wouldn't really consider to be your twin, but more like your opposite, you just might relate to these few points. Opposites really do attract sometimes, and it's definitely a journey being in a relationship with your complete opposite.

1. You learn new things constantly

Dating someone who says, acts, eats, and pretty much does everything you don't really can have its perks. You're both constantly introducing each other to new things and learning so much about each other in the process.

2. You challenge each other

Since they're so different from you, it's often hard to understand how they're feeling or what they think which can be frustrating at times but ultimately it strengthens your relationship. If you really take the time to understand the person you're with, you'll both grow together and begin to understand how the other one functions.

3. You argue a lot, but you grow from each disagreement

There will be arguments--lots of arguments, big and small, but you'll get through them if you really do love each other. Every argument is an opportunity to grow, learn, and understand both you and your partner. Are you sensing a theme, here?

4. You're constantly introducing each other to new things

Since you're so different, each of you has your own set of interests, experiences, and hobbies, but once you come together you begin to share those with each other which helps expose you to new and exciting things. It is always better to share new things with your significant other rather than just assuming they want nothing to do with your interests--you never know if something you love could be something you two can share together.

5. They keep you on your toes

You never really know what the other is thinking or how they'll react to something (unless of course you know them well enough at this point) so they really keep you guessing. Between impromptu road trips, dates at new restaurants, or even just learning something you never knew about them, your partner always keeps you guessing.

6. Your families are different

You grew up differently, and that can be both a blessing and a curse. You won't quite understand how each others families are, how they react to certain things, or what they believe in, etc. but over time you'll learn more about them. It's scary at first, like you're walking on eggshells, but the experience is well worth it and you'll have some new wonderful family members.

Dating your opposite can be challenging at times...or, most of the time, but it's worth it. Opposite couples, in my eyes, are some of the most beautiful couples because the amount of growing and learning they do really helps them both to become better people. The next time you get in an argument with your partner, take a breather and just try to remember all of the positives that come out of your relationship, and how much you love your person despite how different you two may be. You grow, you learn, you love, and you experience so much while being in a relationship with your opposite -- it really is all worth it.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
