I thought Miss Lemon had a great idea with similarities and very obvious differences amongst our S/O and ourselves.

Here are our three odd similarities:

1.) My mom’s family and his mom’s family came from the same area in Mexico. A few generations later they also came from the same neighborhood in Santa Monica, CA! If our kids come out with tails, now we’ll know why: a possible relation somewhere back there!

2.) Not really odd, but we are both the youngest child of middle children

3.) Our families are buried in the same cemetery in my home town. This is odd because it’s not HIS family’s hometown.

Very glaring differences:

1.) I’m the smallest in the family, he’s the largest.

2.) I love sweets and eat no meat, he hates sweets and eats anything that moos, quacks, chirps or barks.

3.) I have no hand/eye coordination whatsoever, he’s a star in anything sporty.

Last one to grow on…

4.) I’m an intellectual (ha! and so modest, too!) who reads constantly and writes always. He’s a jock who has memorized every sports stat in history, yet hasn’t read a book since 2003!

I must say we have a lot more opposites than not. I tend to think that’s a good thing, though. At least I’ll never get bored with a nerd like me! Do you think you have more things in common or more differences?

1. I come from a huge, affectionate family - he has one sister & they NEVER hug or pinch, push, etc.

2. I am very social & the consumate city girl - he could live in a cave in the mountains for the rest of his life hunting his own food.

3. He is a scientist and I am a designer.

4. I’m a foodie and love to try new retaurants and cooking recipies - he could eat cereal for dinner every night of the week (and does when I’m out of town!).

We are very opposite, but have the same values. It works!

i can’t list them [besides my overwhelming love of sports and his whatever attitude toward them] but i know that we have enough similarities to keep us on the same page but just enough differences to keep things interesting. i mean, who knew he’d find someone to geek out over video games with!

We’re very much alike. Both tall, athletic, but tend to put on weight, although we both exercise a lot and think it’s very important to our day-to-day lives. We’re both total geeks, we love computers and science fiction and horror movies, but also real science and history and art. We follow sports, but different ones, he loves football and baseball, I follow ice hockey. We’re the same age, both from Long Island, similar education levels, etc. Family-wise though we’re different: he’s Jewish, his parents divorced when he was young, and he’s the oldest, I was raised Episcopalian, parents married 45 years, middle child.

Our big “agree to disagree” issue is my inherent trust of the government and his inherent mistrust of the government–notable because we both work for the government. We were talking about this post yesterday, though, and I mentioned for the zillionth time how glad I was to find apparently the one other Earth human who hates coffee, will never drink it, hates the smell of it, resents its inclusion in chocolate desserts, etc.

Definitely we have a lot more in common than not - it’s almost scary! We’ll say, do, or think about things and it will always end up happening that the other person will say “ME TOO.” Sharing so much in common is a first for me but I must say that I do prefer it to being so opposite. I used to think that it would make things boring but that couldn’t be farther from the truth.
