"Opposites attract". Wouldn't an opposite you drive you bonkers? Some differences are good. Total opposites are what? Why?

Exactly! Jim and I are very much alike. We are basically quiet folks. We are very close but require and give each other lots of space to just be. We are each other's cuppa tea. We roll our eyes when we're around non-stop talkers and clingy needy complainers. They are exhausting. I must say Jim is by far the more polite one. I don't know how he does it. He can suffer in silence. Not me! After the exhaustive talkers leave guess who kvetches? Right. Me!  Thank you for your spot-on reply Patch. Well spot-on because I can so relate to it! :)
