My ex and I were opposites, which in the beginning, worked out well. However, as the years went by, we grew further and further apart, and it eventually led to the end of our marriage. We stayed together for years the sake of the kids, and then beyond too, just because it was convenient, but I wouldn't do it that way again if I could do it all over. I wasted a lot of good years because I felt obligated. We actually lived apart for about 13 years before we divorced 2 years ago.

Congrats to those of you that have opposites and are happy. My advice would be, that if somewhere down the road it ceases to work, then don't waste the rest of your life in a relationship or marriage "in name only". I did, and wish I hadn't.
