A speed-dating study published in Personal Relationships suggests that opposites do not necessarily attract regarding extreme personalities. Evidence indicates that highly kind individuals never actually seek out malicious partners, but they simply fail to reject them.
Jup can confirm. Not sure about highly empathic butiI try to be kind and I’m sure I understand way to good why my wife is as toxic as she is. Still I refuse to derive consequence from that as I know what’s wrong with her and what needs to happen. Being toxic sadly prevents her from seeking therapy and she takes it out on our lives instead.
