They say opposites attract, and whoever “they” are, are right. Maybe having too much in common with someone can become boring and routine, so opposites can seem exciting. However, with opposites, differences can (and probably will) turn into arguments. I will admit, sometimes I do enjoy a good argument, especially when I know Iʼm right, but arguing doesnʼt solve ANYTHING. Best thing to do? Compromise, compromise, compromise! If you want any relationship to work, sometimes you just have to suck up your pride and find that happy medium where the both of you are comfortable. If you arenʼt willing to compromise, then you may just have to cut your losses and move on. You canʼt expect your partner to compromise their beliefs/routines/etc. if you arenʼt willing to do the same with yours.
When having this conversation, start off by saying something along the lines of, “I know you arenʼt happy with the way _________is, do you have any suggestions on how we can fix this problem? How about ___________.”
Yes, this might sound a bit text-book boring, but throwing in unnecessary words will only cause more problems. By you being the bigger person and starting off the compromise, it will show that you care and are willing to make things work. Hopefully they will reciprocate.
If not? On to the next one, on to the next one…
