    Best advice I’ve heard for compatibility is to think of the persons most annoying trait, and if you can live with that, you’re compatible 😂

    To answer the question at the end of the video, we've been really compatible except for one small detail... She wants kids, i don't. Now that she's turned 30 (I'm 26) there's no more room for waiting on each other to "give in" to the other side. So, basically, my 8 year relationship ended last week 💔

      @@natenuit9643 Thank you for the kind words. And that is so true. Since I'm also a woman, the expectations/pressure of me also wanting kids was really high. But i just can't bring myself to do something like that if I'm not sure, since i think if you can choose, kids deserve at least this certainty.

    I’m so glad that John figured out his and Alison’s parsley situation, I was really worried for a moment there.
    12:57-I feel like ‘privacy and secrecy’ and two different things. Privacy feels like ‘ this information is very personal and I wanna keep it close to the chest’ and secrecy feels like information that someone is actively working to keep under wraps. I feel like in a healthy relationship, baring things like surprises and maybe a few other exceptions that I can’t think of but right now, there shouldn’t be room in a relationship for secrets.

    Knowing whats important to you is key. When husband and i first started dating we would try to get each other gifts, but thankfully we figured out that neither of us like giving or receiving gifts, so we just dropped it. Ive had past partners make me feel bad for having a hard time coming up with good gifts or with not appearing grateful enough. It was such a relief to not have to perform that relationship ritual.
    Also i like that we have different hobbies and he can go do his own thing. But it was really important to me that we share similar politics and world view.

    • @stacylitwin1466

      I like buying gifts but hate that people only expect them during certain times, I like buying something because I found it and it made me think of you, not because there's a holiday coming up, my partner and I exchange holiday gifts but if one year there's only a gift or two and another there's a bunch we understand that it's just whatever spoke to us and there's no obligation to be performative about it

    • @sugaCat363
      @sugaCat363 Месяц назад +3

      @stacylitwin1466 I love that it doesn't feel like an obligation and that you get joy out of it! That seems like a very loving, organic way to share that with your partner. I think having that mutual understanding is key, so no body is failing to live up to unspoken expectations or feeling neglected by a partner who can't show their love in the way you can see it.

    I’ve been told I’m hard to get to know. And I thought 🤷‍♀️ I don’t think it’s THAT bad. And then last week I realized that my partner of over a decade and best friend since 8th grade don’t know about massive portions of my life because they don’t feel relevant to our relationship, so like, why would I bring it up? I GUESS SO THEY CAN KNOW ME AS A PERSON OR SOMETHING.

    As someone with serious ARFID, food differences are a big bummer, I always feel bad that my partner and I can't really share food or make the same meals together, though we make it work. It's really hurtful when people say stuff like "Oh I could NEVER be with someone who didn't like all kinds of food", like well sure you could, you can't control who you like lol (not saying you said that lol)

  • @NotPMHarper
    @NotPMHarper Месяц назад +4

    My partner and I are so similar and have so many of the same key life experiences that it was a little weird and we started a list when we first dated. This is the first relationship where someone "just gets me" and it's really cool. But also we have enough differences that we compliment each other and fill in each other's weak points.
    Probably our biggest pain point is that he's a "you have to tell me explicitly or I won't know" type of Autistic and I'm a "constantly on edge and looking out for subtle cues because I miss them all the time" type of Autistic. This can lead to me thinking something is wrong when it isn't and it can lead to him not realising something is wrong when it is. The solution is obviously just communication but we're also anxious people so sometimes things can spiral a bit before it's resolved.

    Me and my partner are happy together. We agree on some things and on other we both compromise one way or another. I got cheated on my previous relationship after getting married, it scarred me and it took several years of therapy to feel better. When I started my present relationship, my main thing was that I wanted us to be honest and communicate with each other. I am easy going and flexible with most things, so as long as we are communicating, I did not have any issues in changing certain behaviors or what food I would cook. This is why I mentioned that we are both happy, not sure if necessarily compatible, but we both definitely choose to be with each other :) And also, we just had a baby too, so there is a whole new dynamic!

I am the odd man out at friends gatherings. On top of the garden variety of personal needs and preferences (autistic) . I feel 100 percent incompatible. I have too many specific needs.

      It’s a rom com yet it isn’t very funny or very romantic. It’s a musical with no original music. There is a surprise Cher cameo that is not surprising because she is in the promotional materials and hasn’t appeared yet by the last ten minutes of the movie. A maryl streep cameo that actually IS surprising. The plot is predictable and cheesy. There is a goat. There are long skirts flowing in the sunny summer breeze. What more you you want? You can just turn your brain off and feel joy and nostalgia for 90 minutes
