Unhealthy Obsessions That People Have

“I think it’s even more nuanced than that in the sense that people don’t know what to truly prioritize as important for a successful relationship. In my twenties, I’d think of it as the biggest red flag in terms of compatibility if the person I was dating didn’t share my taste in music, books, movies, etc. I went through a ton of relationships that seemingly started out great, only to fizzle or blow up because I wasn’t focusing on what makes two people actually compatible — like the ability to apologize when you’re wrong, the desire to learn more about your SO’s interests, and a mutual understanding of what you both consider important vs stuff that really doesn’t matter.

My wife and I have completely different hobbies and tastes, and it’s hands down the best and easiest relationship I’ve ever been in. I go to all of her games, she comes to shows with me, and through that mutual interest of getting to know each other more, we’ve grown more interested in each others respective hobbies.”
