Just wondering...thinking the likelihood of someone liking the same things I do or trying to/wanting to understand me is quite low.
But for those with their perfect partners or with a different outlook - does your "soulmate" like the same things as you etc? Or can they be quite opposite to you while you still have a deep emotional connection/love for them?
Thanks. Gonna make a cup a soup now lol :smile:
You have made me sad - your words are like a blow to the gut. Whatever has led you to the place where you think that noone would try or want to understand you? By saying that, you are saying that there is nothing pleasant, interesting or appealing. I don't quite think that it's true, so quit thinking that - you are selling yourself short! :wink:
I like to think that my wife and I are deeply connected on an emotional level as well as by our love. Yet, we are alike in some aspects and there are others where we entirely different. I am extrovert, she's introvert. I'm the clown, she's serious. She's emotional and I'm practical. We have some very different tastes in music, movie and book genres and even with that, she'd rather watch a movie where I'd rather read.
However we are also very simple people (and not as in 6 beers short of a 6 pack simple either :biggrin1: ), we are both sensitive, gentle, kind and caring people. We appreciate the small things in life. We both love the outdoors and going for long walks on the beach. Come to think of it, our tastes have more differences than commonalities.
I think that what works for us is that we share the same values and concentrate on the things that we have in common, while making compromises for each other's differences, like I'll choose the movie but it will fall under one of the genres that she enjoys.
I am still taken aback by the way I've struggled to come up with things that we have in common. I guess that we've focused so much on the good stuff that we haven't noticed that we are so very different.
