Dear Annie: ... My husband and I were definite opposites when we were married. ...
DEAR ANNIE: I wanted to offer a little encouragement to “Opposites” about his relationship. You were correct in saying that sometimes relationships between opposite personality types can be the best. I’ve been in one for 28 years.
He’s seen concerts, musicals, plays and movies he never would have seen if I hadn’t been in his life, and I’ve grown to enjoy his musical tastes and most of the television shows and movies he enjoys. DEAR OPPOSITES: Thank you for your letter. It demonstrates that compromise is one of the most important qualities of a happy relationship. You and your husband developed the ability to see things from the other’s perspective, and you were both willing to try new things.DEAR ANNIE: Your advice to “Opposites,” who worries about his relationship with his extroverted girlfriend, was too rosy. These relationships are very difficult, and he is wise to look long-term.
His keeping her isolated from the things she loves can be cruel. Her trying to get him to be around other people can also be cruel. These relationships are best terminated early, before both sides waste valuable time and just give up. -- Won’t Do That Again
