Can a relationship be successful if you have complete opposite partner (discovered this after a honeymoon phase)?

They say that opposites attract, and yeah, there's certainly an appeal to the idea. However, differences can eventually cause a disconnect. It's been years since I saw it, so I'm not going to go through the trouble of finding links, but I do recall statistics on marriage that show that most marriages lasting longer than 20 years are between people who are actually rather similar. Same type of work, same religious beliefs, same socio-economic upbringing, same political beliefs...

Can a relationship be successful if you're opposites? Yes. Is it common? No.

The opposite of someone alive would be someone who is dead. So no, that’s not a healthy relationship

Agree 💯👍

[BarryLiverstone]

Okay

Yes but in what way opposite?

My hubby and I are really different but we make it work together and yes I mean work!

It's only going to work if both of you are willing to put effort for the relationship to work.

[In_Trance]

It really comes down to how much you're both willing to compromise

[Asker]

Correct 💯

Despite what some people might say, I don't think opposites attract.

Discovered after honeymoon? Wow, somebody must have been a good actor... or blind...

Nope. I wrote an entire take on this.
