I had some serious deja vu while making this comic. I’ll assume it’s from the fact that I’ve made a ton of these and not from any problems with the matrix.
The part about the interpersonal style is definitely a strong factor on whether or not a romantic relationship will do well. It’s really helpful (and common) to have the same, or similar, interpersonal communication style between friends, but it’s not anywhere near as big of a deal. Friends can just play sports or some video games and have a good time. Couples with differing communication styles, on the other hand, tend to fail.
Heh, my GF and i communicated just fine, but she was just copying my style. after years of marriage she admitted she lied and left. she married me to raise her children, once they got into high school she no longer needed me. i got to keep them. =)
