Opposites - do they really attract?

I think my husband and I are fairly opposite
He’s an extrovert and well I’m not
He’s a bit of a procrastinator and I’m early to a fault- getting things I like to do or hate- over as fast as I possibly can

I think opposites that work- tend to mesh into some blend of each

But the ying and yang can work too- as long as they are kindred spirits

Like Lennon and McCartney or Martin and Lewis

I once read an article about self awareness or something like that— it said if you had a healthy view of yourself then you would want a best friend just like you

I can see that to a point- maybe a friend that only has your good sides

I wonder if we go looking for our opposite- or simply that we are drawn to what we think we are lacking in

What if we really aren’t that opposite from anyone- just different in certain areas—

I have a theory— the “opposites”- that don’t work out - might have been a reflection of what a person hates about themself— and simply can’t live with someone who is a constant challenge
Something like we tend to go back to what is comfortable

If opposites truly do attract then that does give hope to many searching for that soulmate
That maybe their soul could accept diversity and depth of understanding of another human being that begins as a complete stranger
