He was the "Yin to my Yang". My partner and I are very opposite from each other. We have different personality, taste, and lifestyle. We differ in religion, beliefs, culture and principles in life. I honestly thought that we may not be compatible at all and that I was way out of his league.
But as Psychology says opposites do attract, we are two different halves together complete wholeness. We have been together for more than four years now.
Relationships truly can be as unpredictable as the most suspense-filled mystery novel, for I never expected to see myself settle in this kind of relationship. I was the type of girl who's ideal guy was someone who has same interest as mine,.. until I met him. He was my only exemption. Like any other relationships, we also have our ups and downs. Our differences usually causes our fights. It wasn't easy. The struggle to meet half way was real. It takes a lot of compromising and deep understanding to overcome situations like this. Personally because it feels like battling with yourself in order to give way for the other. As time passed by, we both learn how to deal with it. I saw his willingness to meet me halfway for the benefit of our relationship and that made me love him more.
What I have learned from our story is that Love is not supposed to be selfish. We must not lose ourselves in the process of loving but instead we must help each other grow. I also learned to respect each other's differences and that these differences does not really matter if you truly love your partner.
