Can you be in a relationship with someone you’re not compatible with?

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

No. I don't want any problems in my life. I just want peace.

[lorenzomichael]

Yeah for about an hour.

[DaveJord]

Unfortunately YES you can... but by the time you figure that out, you're screwed.

[Avicenna]

I've done it before. It doesn't last, but it can be fun while it does.

[BCRanger10]

Here's my thought. Compatibility is like the Pirate's Code. It's more a guideline than an actual rule.

That said, you should have similar values and intentions with the relationship, particularly if you want to get married. However, you have to realize that there is much more to the picture than compatibility and that it can and should only take you so far. It's for this reason among others why I tell people not to have sex or live together before getting married, especially on the grounds of "compatibility". At that point, you're starting to limit the other person and what you're willing to give them.

It's possible to be in a relationship with someone you're not fully compatible with, but it can be challenging. Compatibility in values, goals, and communication styles often contributes to the success of a relationship. While differences can be enriching, significant mismatches may lead to conflicts and misunderstandings over time.

🥲 I wonder this question quite a bit because I like to have an imagination to pass the other mundane quiet times of life. Lol. After all I am single and 30s.
Hmm - I'd say it's probably nicer to have someone who doesn't eat sushi, like me, than a woman who says she eats sushi.
Thats for starters 😁🙂 for compatibility 😝

[itsclearlynicholas]

I've also thought this over many times even back in my 20s in the '20s and prior 2010s

[itsclearlynicholas]

@MsProsperity followed by having compatibility personality, tastes, interests and physicality. Otherwise what's the point and I'm always glad I never settled 😂

[itsclearlynicholas]

That I never settled and never will settle for less than know I could gel with 💈

[itsclearlynicholas]

I couldn't find hair gel emoji or barber was closer lol 😆

[MsProsperity]

Are you okay?

[itsclearlynicholas]

@MsProsperity I couldn't squeeze all I wanted in one post hence I became my own comment threaded lol, whoopsies. Ah well 😃

[itsclearlynicholas]

@MsProsperity top of the morning to you 🎩

[HawkPerception]

Been there. Done that. No.

For me... chemistry has to be good for me to stay in a relationship with someone. That means similarities in many aspects. Similar views, interests, sense of humor, way of thinking, goals in life, communication style, physical and sexual compatibility, etc.

[JHAYES317]

Compatible in what sense? I mean not every girl can be with an avg or above avg height guy, or average or above avg size dick. Some gotta settle for short guys and small d. Same applies to bald guys.


Conversely, not every guy can be with a girl with big boobs & butt or a curvaceous bod


So I feel like physical incompatibility is pretty much just par for the course unless you are either rich or hot

[dustybiker2]

Surface, curb appeal, compatible or at all? If you aren't then it wouldn't work. There are arranged marriages of course but how happy are the people truly?

[EmmaMary]

No absolutely not... What a complete and utter waste of time that would be.

[petitedollbabee]

Ofcourse.. how else would people end up with failed relationships?

[NathanDavis]

that depends on how you define compatibility but...

if we do not get along there's absolutely no point to it

[SYTHOX]

Can a dog and a monkey be happy together probably maybe as friends but you'll never see them in a commuted relationship. Use caution if you try this the dog will probably try to hump the monkey, thatd be bad

[Anonymous]

What would be the point? I mean if you're not compatible then you're probably not friends. And if you're not friends then what exactly are you? I mean what is the premise of your relationship ship. Sounds horrible to me.

[TommyMountainFigure]

Sometimes it takes being in a relationship to realise a lack of compatibility!

[TheSpaceGnome]

No, no one can long term without either constant fighting, or stressing into a heart attack or stroke.

[Nifrayu]

Yep. Sadly I wasted 10 years in a relationship with someone that I'm not compatible with before giving up and moving on.

[ProbablyClueless]

Better question is why would you even want to?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Why would I be?

[IslaTheWitch]

you can... but for what purpose?

[XXTruthfulOgrexx]

short term, yes, long term no.
