Truth and myth of such a relationship.
Truth:
-There is no denying that the relationship of opposites can be harmonious and happy.
-Opposites complement each other. There are relationships where the strengths of one partner counterbalance the "weaknesses" of the other. But on the condition that both partners accept their choices. Do not seek to change, but rather admire the qualities and traits that they would like to possess themselves. Different interests can be the key to a strong relationship. After all, partners always have something to discuss and talk about.
-Craving for change. Familiar surroundings and cultural environment can be boring, will want to experience something new, out of their comfort zone. Some people compensate for this with a career or trips abroad, and others start relationships with "different" people.
Myth:
-Different values and attitudes bring you closer together. If a guy prefers a single and carefree life, and you dream of marriage and children, it is unlikely the relationship will lead to anything. Or, for example, you value freedom, are used to trusting your partner and respecting his boundaries. And he, on the contrary, thinks that free time should be spent together, constantly monitoring and checking - there is little hope for a bright future together.
-The secret of happy couples is different characters. In a long relationship people strongly influence each other. Habits, personality traits, and qualities change. In some cases, such changes benefit the partners, the relationship becomes stronger. But sometimes under the dissimilar characters hide different goals in life. For example, the guy is constantly complaining, looking at everything pessimistically. And you used to enjoy life, to enjoy every moment and can not tolerate whining.
-From childhood we see a kind of romance in otherness. Cinderella and the Prince, Juliet and Romeo, Hermione and Ron, Rose and Jack Dawson from Titanic - these images showed us that love can be different. The more people don't look like each other, the stronger the feelings are. But is it as good in reality as it is in fascinating fictional stories?

There is no formula for love and happy relationships. Choose with your heart and don't neglect your values and dreams.
