Can an extrovert love an introvert-can it last?

[hira]

If you had a gf or bf who was introverted and you were extroverted and you loved eachother and been togerther for a long time. The only problem that you have in the relationship is the fact that the introvert doesnt enjoy many parties, or social outings with many people around and the extrovert does.
Question-You as the extrovert-
a-would you be pissed with the introvert for not being like u, force them to like, join u and do everything you like and get mad when they dont wanna come along with you to every party, event etc?
b- would you accept the fact that they are different, let them be and still love them?
c-would you throw temper tantrums, cuss them out, make them feel worse about being introverted and threaten that u will break up with them?
Also, as the introverted person-
a-should you change and try to become more extroverted just to make your partner happy. Go to all and every outing that they ask you to go to, even if you dont want to or enjoy it?
b-leave this person because they dont accept you the way you are and make you feel worse about being quiet and introverted?

The only way that two opposite people can make a relationship work is if they can understand their differences.

My girlfriend Robin and I have two separate differences and opinions but doesn't mean I hate her for that,I respect it and respect her for the opinions she has. :)

Neither partner should try to change eachother EVER (unless it's actually detrimental which is irrelevent here).

If people can't accept eachother, then there isn't much of a relationship to be had. Relationships don't ride on "Who's the bigger partier?" "Who socializes more?" And if one thinks they do, that person needs a reality check.

People are who they are. Either you can accept that or not. If being with an introvert is not REALLY what you want to be with, then move on.

Love isn't conditional, it just is.

My Bf and I are like what you are describing. I love to go out and he would rather stay at home. We have been together for 11 months now, , and I believe that we were able to stay together for so long despite our hundreds of differences because we both compromise. He hates to go out, but will do it for me, as long as i agree to leave earlier etc. thats just an example. I wouldnt advice either to completly change, just learn to compromise. If you guys have a really hard time, or do not like to compromise, then it will be very difficult to get along, and there will be many arguments.

I can accept the differences or not because that's what makes us special.Her and I have separate opinions and both of us try to survive in our relationship.We've been seeing each other for almost a year now and we try not to argue a lot. :)

yeah I think it can. I'm in the same situation. My bf understands. He said he'll try to bring me 'out of my shell' but I know he'd never force me. And Iwouldn't change him for the world. It would be holding him back. I think we both embrace the fact we are different.

Like everyone else has stated here you should never try to change the person you are with. There's a reason why you chose to be with this person so you need to focus on that and not what you consider to be their faults. Why would you want to force someone to go somewhere or do something that makes them uncomfortable?? You wouldn't want to feel like you have to do things that make you uncomfortable or miserable just to appease someone else. Find things that you both enjoy. Or learn to compromise. Also do you really need to go everywhere and do everything together?? There is a certain individuality you need to keep even in a relationship.

Robin and I may have a difference of opinions but I love her a whole lot.She may not do the things that I like to do and I may not like the things that she likes to do.That's what makes us special. :)
