I was talking to my girlfriend today and she brought up how in every relationship I have ever gotten into, I always end up being the one to "give in".

 

She made an interesting point that my man also happens to be someone who gives in[not in a bad way], and she believes it is one reason why we work so well together.

In every other relationship I always felt like I was the one to love more. I don't like conflict, I like doing things for my SO, and I generally can put up with a lot more crap than others could.

 

With my ex, I was so submissive, he was so controlling and it never seemed like he was the one to ever want to please ME. To get him to do anything I wanted to do was like pulling teeth.

 

Now though, my man is just like me, we both love doing things the other person wants us to, we don't like conflict, and generally love making one another feel loved.

 

 

Anyone else a people pleaser, or the opposite, notice how being with someone who is similar in such is different than being with someone who isn't?

Im in a relationship now where we I am now realizing how different I am from a gf. Being different can be good sometimes, but the more I realize how different we are..the more I realize that maybe we arent for each other. I think a couple should never be too alike or too different. They should complement each other well, but agree on important values (family, religion, politics..etc).

 

My first serious relationship was with someone who shared the same values as I did. that relationship was fantastic, until she cheated on me. Apparently, her values weren't as sound as I thought they were LOL
