There have been a few threads just now exploring personality traits and emotions that correlate. I'd like to investigate in another way, similar to "Would You Rather" in an either/or choice.
Please answer the following in terms of your partner/preferences or for yourself within the partnership (or future partnership), as applies to each set. Please say if it’s about you or your other.
If you feel your dynamic or lifestyle or identity (D/s, etc.) relates to your feelings, please share that, if you’d like; let’s talk about it. If instead you feel like it would be the same regardless of orientation/relationship, then go with that.
I’m going black and white here and asking for a choice so that there can be discussion. Many may choose “somewhere in the middle” but if you are asked to choose only from this or that, it may prove edifying.
They are not necessary antonyms of one another; feel free to change it up. Add some too.
Don’t answer any you don’t want to. Duh.
Reticent or chatty * He is reticent and so far, is pleased with my chattiness, especially in social situations, where he hangs back and observes and i am more inclined to interact and chat*
Micromanage or hands off *He is capable of pretty intense micromanagement, but likes that i dont seem to need it*
Zealous or wishy-washy * Together, we tend to rub eachothers sharp edges off in terms of what we believe too rigidly*
Too strict or too lax *He is very strict and enjoys watching me struggle with that*
Too bratty or too agreeable* ive been here long enough that everyone knows im kind of a sam, but hes under the impression that its just "spirit" and who am i to tell him thats not what it is?*
Introverted or extroverted*He is pretty introverted. And, yannow, im sorta not*
Spontaneous or scheduled*He is scheduled in day to day dealings but frighteningly spontaneous in more personal ones*
Flirty or shy*He doesnt flirt, but isnt shy....and doesnt seem concerned when my outgoing nature turns toward the flirty side...He knows who owns me*
Too moody or too chill*He is the single most even tempered person ive ever met. i, am....um...not chill*
Intelligent or resourceful*i would like to think that we are both of these things. He is definitely one to do the fixing when there is a problem, where i would be more inclined to wonder for a longer period of time about how to fix it best. But im not generally a damsel in distress....mostly*
Too competent or needy*He is almost too competent, and sometimes i have to ask if he really needs all this chaos in his life, or if he would be better off without it/me. He then just shrugs and says, what chaos?*
Ritualistic or blasé*He is very ritualistic in a lot of areas of his life. Very ordered, linear thinking....and i am the complete opposite.*
Too affectionate or too standoffish*Oddly enough, he is pretty affectionate. And ima big love bug*
Sophisticated or simple*He is very simple in taste, expectation, and judgement. If it pleases him, i know it because he clearly stated that it did. i know exactly where i stand at all times.* * And neither of us are all that sophisticated in other areas, food, drink, entertainment, hobbies, whatever...pretty simple, but happy.*
Too emotional or unsympathetic*He is not too emotional or too unsympathetic...He is slower to respond to an issue than i would be, were it up to me to respond. He thinks before he acts. He has great empathy for others and isnt afraid to show emotion, but he doesnt have the visible highs and lows i do emotionally*
If you'd like to just focus on one or some that's cool. Thanks!

In a lot of ways, we work. And in the areas we dont, we address them and he decides if any action needs to be taken to rectify that. There have been issues that i felt needed to be addressed or whatever, and he listened and decided against changing whatever it was....which is hard to accept at first, but i cant think of a situation or a problem that was significant that he didnt somehow fix.
Sometimes, i forget that he will not always agree with me, or allow something i want....or sometimes i forget where the line is and push a matter after its been decided...and he never hestitates to put his foot down...and once its down, manalive, its down. (generally so am i at that point....on the floor or up against the wall.)
But, for the most part, we have similar ideas about things, and i have never "forgotten" to defer....ive often been told no and not liked it.
Heres hoping i remain pleasing....you know how the things one likes about their partner is the thing they hate the most in the end.....*shiver*
