Compatibility (81)
sweetowenSomewhere, Pennsylvania USA289 Threads 5 Polls 8,850 PostsDo you think it's possible to be live happily with someone who is not extremely compatible with you financially, socially, politically, living/style-wise, etc? If you get along fabulously, but know that there are so many differences between the two of you, can you actually make the relationship work? Do you think one of you would have to change? And would you both be happy if one is really trying to change the other?

I would guess it depends on how bad both wants it to work. Both would have to make changes and learn to give and take, but it can work if you want it to.

I don't like the last question...someone trying to change the other....No way.I think the other stuff could work, but not changing the other person. I think if you get along, neither one would really have to change.

It can work great, but both partners should respect each other's differences and not try to change the other person, and should also allow time and space to each other to pursue their different interests

Good question, Sweet.
What is the chance of finding someone who is extremely compatible?
In any case - *extremely* is subjective.
You just have to figure out compatibility in what areas is more important for you to be happy, and go from there.

it is very difficult to answer this thread, it will depend on each specific case, i think if both of you are honest and love each other very much, then may live together happiliy.------ This thread is Archived ------
I do not go along with trying to change anyone at all. It must be up to that individual themselves if they want to change, and then you can perhaps assist support them in this.

I do completely agree with you, J. But don't you think you'd possibly be subconsciously trying to change them? Or they you? It happens so often. That's one thing I did in my first marriage that I've vowed not to do again. But if you really care for someone... but there's that ONE THING that is a big difference between the two of you... don't you unintentionally try to get them to change that?

Personally, I think no matter how much you like the person, when you feel you need them to change, something just isn't right. JMO.------ This thread is Archived ------

If a person is going to change, the person has to want to change, not have change forced on them. Forced change will almost always backfire. If a person is willing to make changes, that is fine, its the persons decision, even if it don't work out in the end.

There's another point... what if your political views, or religious views are different. Would this be too much to overcome?
