Being in a relationship with someone who has opposing personality traits can be challenging... especially if you're a more upbeat, freethinking and creative type versus a partner who is logical, practical and strict. But there are pros to being in such a relationship. Leah Sefor, a life and relationship coach, and author of That's Not What I Meant!, explains that being with a pessimistic or 'realistic' partner can help ground you and bring focus to what's manageable. However, you can feel unsupported or have your spirits dampened by their constant 'worst-case scenario' approach. So, how does one get a handle on a union like this?
