Many times in my life I was asking myself: Oh why can't I find a person that is like me - empathetic, people pleaser, "nice person" who does everything for others and would put me before him, someone who will care about my feelings and tell me pretty things, maybe lie a bit so I can feel better about myself. And you know what I got? A man that is brutally honest, often says: I love myself so much, I look so good, who knows he's good looking, prioritising himself, social butterfly, loved by everyone. And I got it. I got that the incompatibility I thought existed is actually exactly what I needed. I'm learning so much from him and he's my greatest teacher, after Teal Swan. He helped me to define my boundaries, express myself better, be honest, exit the victim mode and love myself more. 😄🥰

1000%! My girlfriends and I are type-A entrepreneurial visionary types. We all have husbands that are grounded and patient - opposite of us, because it is compatible! I’ve dated people who are too much like me and it was not compatible for day to day life. It may sound unromantic, but when choosing a life partner, there are functional compatibility things that must be considered. Just as you may love some of your friends but would NEVER travel with them, when choosing for long term, you must consider who you want to spend everyday life with. The traits may be different from someone you would have a fling with. 🙂

Absolutely. What do you do though when you marry someone you’re not attracted to and they’re attracted to you? That’s what happened with me and my husband and now that he has passed away, I feel so guilty. He deserved someone who loved him in that way, but I just didn’t. But I loved him so much that I would have done anything for him. I took care of him when he was suffering from Lewy body dementia even though he became violent and hit me many times. Previously he was a very gentle man and would’ve died before hitting anyone, especially a woman. Romantic love is so confusing to me. I think it always will be and I’m in my 60s.

Often times I've found life will bring us people that usually do NOT have the same preferences as us on the external level , to challenge our capacity to unconditionally love the other even though we both have different preferences. Of course this isn't always the case, but a lot of the times it is , and I find that there are a lot lessons to be learned to increase our capacity to hold the frequency of unconditional love when someone like this comes into our life. Great video Teal ! Thanks for being one of the people that inspires me to post videos every single day . Much Love 🙏

Yes I agree the most important compatiblity you can share with someone is to love each other unconditionally and stay committed despite the differences that may come about. I mean, if you followed Teal's advice, you would be left with pretty much no one because no one is perfectly compatible with you. But plenty of people still know how to commit.

You also have to remember that you don't stay the same throughout your lifetime. Someone who loves to clean but hates to cook, can start cooking and luv it! This is just an example. Obviously if your partner grew to love ❤ cooking it's probably not going to break up the relationship. But, someone who was content to stay home with the kiddos and then became career driven again-that might cause issues. Or someone who was nice and then became an asshole-yeah that's gonna be a problem lol

Its like working together shoulder to shoulder rather than face to face(like in a compatible one). Just like 2 magnets. Meeting someone like you, who makes arguments like you make will cause conflict and growth but 2 people like this cant live together. Also compatibilty is really good but it can cause so much validation that it can even lead to stagnation ... i think both kinds of relationships are important

Oh my God, this is so funny! My husband passed away recently and he was the love of my life, but for some reason I’m so lonely that I keep thinking of an ex-boyfriend who really wasn’t very nice to me, but to whom I was extremely attracted. I’ve been having the urge to call him even though I know that’s not the right thing for me and I really don’t want to because it hasn’t even been a year yet since my husband passed away and I’m grieving something terrible. I cry every day, but I can’t get this other person out of my mind. When she said to think of that person that you’re so attracted to as the ugliest person you’ve ever seen and then reassess their behavior, that completely changes the way I think of him. He was so self-centered that he never even noticed when he stepped on other people’s feelings. I’m not sure he even knew people had feelings. He was kind to homeless people though. 😊

My best friend of over 10yr is complete opposite of me but we're so attached to each other.. we started out as 'enemies' in middle school , naturally because of how different we are, she's very private and hates friendly people, that's me 😂 while i just don't like her tenseness..but guess what, we slowly warmed up to eachother in highschool, and surprisingly! We just somehow get along, yes we argue a lot, due to her lack of communication and my habit of confrontation.. but along the way, we learn to try to understand eachother and yes, my ego is kinda small, I'm quite shameless and honest, no I'm not putting myself up on pedestal but rather being more self aware than people around me, while she on the other hand, is very loyal and puts so much efforts in something or someone she loves.. so i tend to acknowledge my shortcomings and apologize while she likes showing her efforts by actions so for example she'd cook something for me as an apology.. we're so different and that's what makes our friendship grow, because we can learn something new from eachother thus broaden our perspectives..but the things we have in common is actually we both tend to shove our feelings down ,we both craves for something meaningful but are afraid to lay it all bare, we both tends to wants to be a better person, we both are 'childish but old souls' deeps down so, when things are hard, we'd open up about our feelings spontaneously..
i just realized now that me and my ex-'friend" were no where near compatible. but i became friends with the person because me and that person had lots of common interests and likes and dislikes and were like: "omg!! we're like twins, we're so alike!!" 😒

Opposites attract each other but it's in a short run only. If you don't have the same values everything will go to waste. I love intelligent men. Once I was in a relationship with a man who was less intelligent than me, who constantly needed support and reassurance. He was like a woman really or that is how I perceived him. In the end he diguisted me because he could never stand for himself and was like a doormat in a work envinorment. Also problem solving was always in my hands. I started hating him in the end. I liked how sweet and gentle he was in the beginning but the more I get to know him the less attracted I was in the end.

You are going to want and need to be there. Bit let's be honest here shall we? As a collective we also believe in longevity of life...how can your intimate relationship with the other bring you and all of us..."success" in the universe. It's only then...in the art of allowing those people for the people to say...yeah those two would make sense. Or NOT make sense come to fruition.
