Do partners have to have the same tastes to gel?

[Anonymous]

I ask because I had a girl break up with me cause I liked rock music and she didn’t I also liked true crime documentaries and horror movies and she didn’t

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Not always. But if there's something that really bugs/bothers them, then I think it might be reasonable for a breakup. Especially if you plan on living together.

So when we moved in I had to abandon my own interests

[PBandJ_Nerd]

Yeah. It might be sad & painful, but breakup is probably for the better. Since you wouldn't want to give up your interests just to be in a relationship. It'd be like if I had to give up watching cartoons, anime, & k-drama. I probably wouldn't want to do that either.

Nah. My boyfriend and I have different tastes.

It is very important for me.
