Is your FH/DH like you?

[WebLady]

What do you and your "other half" have in common? Do your personalities mesh well or oppose each other? What makes you love this person?

I know some couples that have alot in common and others that don't seem to have much of anything in common.

So where do you and yours fit in?

[Goin2thechapel]

Jon and I have nothing in common.

I love to spend, He saves
He's quiet and introverted, I'm loud and outgoing
He love to read, I'd rather watch TV
I work with humans, he works with computers/machines
I love to talk, he doesn't
He'd prefer a Friday night in, I'd prefer a Friday night out on the town
I'm trendy, he's not
We are both very well educated though...


The only thing we do agree on is....

I love him, and he loves me :)

[SerendipityCrafts]

He is EXACTLY like me. We are twins. We think the same. We have common interests. We have the same goals. Our backgrounds are even similar. We speak the same language. The only difference is that he's male and I am female LOL

But ........ what really creeps us both out is when we are thinking about some innane little thing and the other person says something out loud about the very same thing.

ETA - It's a sickly sweet thing to do but, the only thing we repeatedly argue over is who loves whom more LOL

[LizabethDavis]

Nope. Most of our interests are different.

He likes paintball and video games.
I can't stand either one

I like crocheting and scrapbooking
He could care less

We both spend too much time on the computer

But as it was said above,

I love him
And he loves me:p

[jeni740]

Andy and I were complete opposites when we met, I was a partier, I was the first at the nightclub and the last to leave, I went to the casino every week, I got into numerous fights,I smoked I was a very heavu drinker and some other things that I am not proud of , I played pool everday I was on a downward spiral. People ask my sister sometime when they see her if I am ok, basically am I still alive.
Andy is very shy, does not barely ever drink, does not gamble, does not like to go to clubs or bars, he does not smoke and is really big into his death metal music.
Now we both are pretty much the same everyone says he saved my life and I do agree he really did save my life I appreciate him so much for helping me change and not giving up on me when so many others had.

[WebLady]

DH and I are very much alike. We like alot of the same things (music, food, fun, etc) sure there are some minor differences, but nothing major. He does tend to be more laid back than I, except when you get him around his friends ;)

Mainly and most importantly to us, we share the same faith, the same hopes, dreams and goals, and of course we love each other :bbmrgreen:

I love how we can talk about anything. I have never had a relationship where I could really talk and be myself with someone. DH is definitely my best friend :wub:

[rainbowtreat]

Nicholas and I have alot in common and yet alot that we don't have in common.

We both love the same shows, same movies, same music ( for the most part ). We love to laugh and have fun. We like spending our time with our kis rather movies , games, taking them some where. We both have our time on the computer. We can talk about anything and I feel like I can say and do anything and he loves me all the same. As I do him.

He likes his video games, not for me. He likes his radio show Free Beer and Hot Wings, he tries to get me to listen to some things. I just listen and let him have his fun for a min.

I hate house cleaning and dishes and what not, He does most of the work. He does the grocery shopping and the cleaning I do the laundry lol. Not a bad trade off huh lol.

He calls my mom mom and his boss mom as she is like a second mom to him. I call my mom mom and that is it. Is that a southern thing?

[hummingbird521]

Jerry and I have a lot of things in common. This is one of the reasons we were drawn to one another. We both love nascar, love to watch sports, love outside activities of any kind (whether work or play). WE have the same taste in music and most tv shows. We also have the same goals in life for our family as well as the two of us. i guess the only thing we don't have in common is that he is a pushover and i am not. he does not know how to say NO, and I however will use it often.

[katieandalex]

Our personalities are exactly the same. We have almost everything in common, there are just a few small things that we disagree on but for the most part, we are the same people. LOL. The main reason we were drawn to each other, IMO, is that we never stop having a good time. We get into a fight and a minute later we are laughing about something. I think thats a huge part of keeping a relationship together and fresh....being able to still enjoy the others company.

[Callys_bride]

The FH and I are very similar in different ways.

Sometimes I say what he is thinking
He is the push over and I am the road block lol
We both ride sportbikes and are computer/photography geeks
We both like the same kind of foods, japanese, vietnamese, etc etc
The 3 things that make us both cranky is: being tired, hot and sleepy
He does anything to make me happy and I will do the same
He eats my brocolli off my plate and I eat his cucumber, pickles, celery but he likes the carrots
:laugh::laugh:

[NicksBride]

Nick and I are pretty opposite, but we say that is what we like about each other.
He is quiet and calm, I am loud and high strung.
He likes hunting, I hate seeing him kill animals
He likes outdoors, they freak me out
Etc
But we love each other and I love the differences between us. FUnny right?

[BriansBride07]

Me and Brian are complete opposites.

I like to spend her likes to save
He was a party animal and I was a occasional partier
He is outgoing I am shy
He is a dare devil and I am scared of everything lol
He likes to be center of attention and I like to fade into the background


But I am a firm believer in the fact that opposites attract. We have been together for 14 1/2 years. So I think that we both complete each other. I wouldn't trade him for anything in the world.

[Caleb's Bride]

Caleb and I like alot of the same things, but we do have alot of differences too.

We both like to go and do things, whether it be out to dinner, have friends over, go see a show or concert and so on.

We both have a similar work ethic and know that the sky's the limit.

We are both pretty outgoing and like to be the center of attention.

Now, the differences.

He's an impulse buyer and I really have to justify spending money. I'm not "tight" but as a couple just starting out, there are so many things that we need to get together that I'm not willing to spend money on useless ****.

He's sort of a pushover and people can talk him into anything or make him feel guilty if he doesn't "help" them or whatnot. I will help out anyone if I can, but if it cuts too deeply into my time and finances, I'm not going to sacrifice for people that can't help themselves. I don't know how to explain it without going too much into detail, but I won't be taken advantage of and it's really easy for me to tell people "no".

He and I come from 2 totally different family dynamics and that's sometimes a difficult thing to deal with. Again, without too much detail, he gets made to feel guilty by people that should be able to pull up their bootstraps and do things for themselves. It's just irritating. And my family is very close and his family has issues in that half of them don't get along and only his mother and one of his sisters has even bothered to come see where he lives (they've each come once in 2 years), which really irritates me. Particularly because they expect and make him feel guilty about going down there to see them. Well, he lives 2 or 2/12 hours away and it shouldn't be solely on his shoulders and his financial burden to be the one to constantly run at their beck and call. The road runs two ways. Geez, this got long. Sorry. As you can tell, it's a thorn in my side because he's a sucker at times. LOL!

But we love each other. And we always seem to work through everything.

[dearlyloved]

Steve and I don't have too much in common either..

He's a numbers person/I'm a word person
I spend/he saves
He's an analytical thinker/I'm a creative thinker
I'll talk to anybody/He's cautious
He ruffles feathers/I smoothe feathers
He's confrontational/I'm passive

What we do have in common:

We both love football
We both love R&B music
We both love to travel

We both love God and have a relationship with Him

[racecargirl]

Dave and I are in someways alike and someways different.

We like the same tv shows, we both don't like tomatos and onions, we like similar movies, we both like cars.

He's a neat freak, I'm not, our taste in music is totally different, he's very outgoing, and I'm very shy at least until I get to know people, I'm more of a people pleaser and he has to have his way.

[shawnsgirl]

Shawn and I are sooooo much alike it's scary!!!

Besides liking the same hobbies such as fishing, hunting, liking the same sports, watching the same type of movie, etc. etc. are personalities are so similar.

We're both very outgoing, love to joke around and pick on eachother and others, both love to cuddle...stuff like that..Sometimes it's scary...We react to things the same way too. For instance...We were looking at videos on youtube the one night. There was the brad paisley song about putting the toilet seat down...Anyhow, we just looked at eachother and started laughing histerically and said at the same time we are so playing that at our wedding. We often know what eachother is going to say before we say it stuff like that.

It does has it's disadvantages..him and I both can be stubborn and bullheaded at times! However, we respect eachother so it's not too much of a problem..

[The future Mrs. Monroe]

Kris and I are definately opposites... though he would probably disagree.

I am a total planner, I make a to-do list like EVERY day!
Kris is more of a fly by the seat of his pants kind of person- he totally doesn't understand why I have to have so much order!

I love to talk- and do- for hours on end about anything!
Kris is quiet, keeping his opinions to himself.

I am very outgoing- my mom says I can make friends at the grocery store!
Kris is more timid about whom he's close to- all of his "best" friends he has known since he was like 5!

I am always thinking ahead- like saving to buy a house, planning where we'll be in 10 yrs.
Kris is always spending our "savings" on surprise trips to Mexico and stuff!
(OK I admit that wasn't too horrible!)

He loves his computer and watching movies.
I love to be out doing SOMETHING!!!

But I think that's exactly why we love eachother so much- because it creates a great balance. And I wouldn't want it any other way! :laugh:

[SoontobeMrsClark07]

Jonathan and I have some things in common but also a lot of differences.

We both like movies, video games, figuring things out, going out to eat, hanging with close friends, and cheerleading.

I like to go out with large groups of people (I have a large amount of friends) where Jonathan only has a few select very close friends.

Jonathan likes to take naps and I cant stand to sleep during my day... when I'm up, I'm up and cant go back to sleep until I'm ready for bed.

I like to have things planned out and know what I'm doing and Jonathan likes to play things more by ear...

Jonathan likes dark rooms (like sunblocker shades) with white walls and hardly anything in the room... I love bright rooms with lots of color, lots of decorations, and my furniture not cluttered but not in the closet either...

[Nekochanpurr]

Steve and i are pretty alike with hobbies.. We love watching anime and playing video games together (theres a couple i watch him play, hes not allowed to play without me! XD). We have mostly all the same friends and we hardly ever fight.
However, we are different because i stand up for what i believe/what i want.. Steves so easygoing he'll let anything go without fighting for it! Heh, sometimes i have to stand up and be the man.. Its cool though, lol. Hes pretty traditional too though.. He hates HATES me paying for him..
Hes so sweet though.. My whole family loves him to death.. Now, if i could warm up a little more with his side.. =3

[Diamend]

Tony is my other half!! He completes me liek no one else. He has lead me to my Lord and he continues to be the spiritual leader in our relationship! Where I lack in knowledge and faith, he picks up! Where I get wrapped up in being to serious, he reminds me of laughter and continually makes me smile! He is the complete goofball on the outside, that I hide inside myself. He is the only one that I completely let loose with! We fit perfectly together... there could be no other person that could fit with the either of us.. except for each other!!

[woohoo2me]

Kyle and I are oppisites

I'm always right he's a;ways wrong lol.
he's smart without even trying, i gotta work my but off.
grew up in two different stlyes of homes, he got everything spoiled little brat, and i was ghetto poor lol
he is a saver i spend
i clean and when i mention the word wash he is nowhere to be found lol

but we like the same kind of music, it's the band Our Lady Peace that brought us together :D

[mariaandmanish]

We're alike and very different at the same time.

We're both very into photography, those he's more of a sticker than I am. He'll do the hard work to learn more about it, I sort of fiddle.

He's a saver, I'm a spender, but I'm a saver and he's a spender. It's odd, because we'll see-saw over who's the saver or spender at a particular time.

Neither of us are party animals. But, I'm perfectly content sitting home reading a good book, or watching a good movie pretty much all the time. And he'd rather be outside doing something, anything, other than sitting at home!

We're both a bit loud, but quiet too. We're both middle children, so we tend to go back and forth a LOT! LOL.

[soontobemrs]

This is a very good question - we are really different. My FH is extremely intelligent and I am really quirky so having a conversation with him usually ends up with me having a "huh?" look on my face..lol - he loves it though. He loves to cook and bake and I hate it. We like totally different music, etc. I can say though that our feelings were instant and I wouldn't change a thing.
