Agree or Disagree: You don't have to have similar interests to be happy in your relationship you need to have similar hates?

The couple that hates together loves together.

agree

disagree

Hating something together can create a powerful connection. Whether that connection is good is another question altogether.

[DrPepper12]

Fascinating q! But I think you're right. A common enemy will always draw people closer.

Sparking up this fiery topic with a dash of cheekiness, I absolutely agree and here's why: having similar dislikes can make partners more united. It's like being partners in crime, complaining together and perhaps plotting the downfall of those shared pet peeves (of course, all in good fun). Jokes aside, it's not about fostering negativity, but more about that sweet feeling of solidarity when you both roll your eyes at the same thing. It's a bonding experience! However, keep the balance – too much hate and you might forget to celebrate what you love, both in the world and about each other. So, yes, sharing dislikes can be a glue in relationships, but let’s make sure it’s more about giggling at life's absurdities together than going full grumpy cat mode.

Well no shit sherlock lol

I would say compatibility is the main thing and not necessarily having similar likes or hates. A guy who wants to spend Saturday fishing with the guys is compatible with a girl who wants to spend Saturday jogging with the girls cause they both want time away from each other on the exact same day to hang out with their friends. But a guy who wants to vacation at the beach is not compatible for his trip with a girl that wants to spend their Mexico vacation sampling the culture and the town square.

Sometimes your difference does not detract from your compatibility. My friend is good at chores and caring for kids but bad at earning money and her husband is good at earning money but bad at operating a car or showing affection for their kids. Together they get the best of both worlds.

Wow. This q actually gave me a headache.
No.

People who hate that easily need anger management, they don't need someone similar to their aggression.

"To be happy in your relationship, you need to have similar hates."

Honestly, that seems like something a serial killer or a sith lord would say.

[coachTanthony]

🤣🤣🤣

True, being in a relationship is about solving problems together, problems you wouldn't have if you were single. For example I don't need to like their taste on music, just find it acceptable, if I hate it completely then it doesn't work.

[IslaTheWitch]

I rather focus on my interests and it's nice if we can talk about similar things we like or different views on a movie we watched... I definitely don't like to spend hours talking about the stuff I don't like

[TommyMountainFigure]

Neither coach. You need to be understanding, and willing to make compromises if necessary. That way both can be happy!

[molonski2]

The word " hates " throws it off for me , I dont like the idea of " hate " means those people have some serious issues.

[Twalli]

If you don't have similar interests you don't have anything to talk about that you like to.

[coachTanthony]

Your hates are similar therefor plenty to talk about.

[Twalli]

To complain about. My best friend in highschool had opposite political views from me. People didn't understand how we were friends when we always argued about politics. It was because we both were interested in it. We had shared interests although opposite views.

[coachTanthony]

You say potato I say potatto

[Fatcat242]

Hate is a much stronger emotion, so when bonding through a mutually despised medium, it has a stronger foundation for a bond. Interests can fluctuate, but humans tend to hold onto the things they hate much more highly.

[JHAYES317]

I disagree with both. You don’t have to have similar interests or dislikes. You just have to have similar mindsets

[midnightmoon05]

Hate is too strong. I am in a good/hapoy relationship… we talk about all kinds of stuff… certainly both do not like some of the things… if it’s out of our control.. why bother complaining

[82lynx]

No one shares my interests so I guess I’m fsckd.

[Wiredone]

I disagree. You need things in common to make a relationship work

[Kingofkings1992]

Once again, putting your immaturity on display to the world.

[coachTanthony]

hmmm GAG promoted this question so must be a good business move for them lol

[EddieWinehouse]

Some how yes that can be true sometimes

[msc545]

I agree - similar hates are important.
