Orrrrrr u and your partner just have nothing in common nd no shared interests and the relationship falls apart lol

I disagree with this.

I know people who think they need to have all the same shared interests and beliefs for a relationship to work, but that sounds boring af to me. We're all individuals, and I don't need to be in a relationship with another me. I want each of us to be our individual selves and a couple.

You need a good common foundation, but I want someone who's the sugar to my spice and the spice to my sugar. Someone with mostly the same values but a different perspective. Healthy conversations and debate instead of a constant stream of "I agree!"

But to have that you need a tolerance for individuality, and an awareness that life will change and grow you into different people than you were when you started. Which is the way it's supposed to be.

Don't date people who want kids if you don't. Can't negotiate having half a child, it's incompatible.
