How do couples with different personalities cope?

They say opposites attract but my boyfriend is very serious person and I'm very playful goofy.
Sometimes my sarcasm upsets him lol
I feel like dumping him because i enjoy being light hearted and playful

1. Both need to understand that the best partnerships are where you complement each other's strengths/weaknesses and appreciate your differences as much as the things you have in common.
2. It is helpful to have your own space/time/activity where and when you can just be yourself for a while with out any concern of involving or supporting your partner.

@PureLoyalPrincess Thank you for BC. My late wife and I were like you describe -- she the extrovert who lit up a room, befriended everyone and me the silent one in the corner -- although both of us were pragmatic, serious people under those outward appearances. We drew upon each other as circumstances dictated. We considered ourselves roommates, because you tend to work harder at keeping roommates rather than any feeling of "possession" that marriage might give you, and gave each other space, had our own turf areas of the house. We lasted 43 years until cancer took her. Good luck to the two of you.

opposites attract is the biggest bullshit that people believe
