‘I never knew why opposites attract, until I met you. All the things that drive me crazy about you make us work.’: Woman pens sweet letter to polar ‘opposite’ husband

I’m a feeler, you’re a thinker.

I put up pictures, you’d rather decorate your mind with the memories.

You’d still be wearing clothes from college, never realizing trends change.

That brick of a flip phone you carry keeps me grounded.

I’d go way left, passionate and shouting. You’d saunter right, calm and reasonable.

We pull each other back to center.

You see the good in situations even when I swear it’s not there.

When revenge is tempting, you wrap me in a white flag.

You’d never know Miley and Liam broke up, or even who they are.

I keep you up to speed, and you slow me down.

You’d work till retirement, I lobby for a vacation.

While I make sure we enjoy the present, you plan for our future.

I swear we’re messing the kids up, you insist we’re doing a good job.

All the things about you that drive me crazy, make us work.

I never knew why opposites would attract, until I met you.”
