Highly type A drives me bonkers. Slightly type A is doable, because then they can take care of the details I just don't care about, but might need to be taken care of.
I've tried it a couple of times and they (the type B) made me INSANE!
My wife (another type A) has had the same experience.
SUPER enjoy having someone around who is as attentive and picks up the slack if I'm not there, AND (this is the beauty part) I can totally trust that she did stuff correctly, on time, and in the BEST possible way/most efficient/most cost saving/etc.
I can't tell you how much that eases my mind. It's like heaven.
For some reason, "type B" and "incompetent" seem to go hand in hand in so many daily activities.
Doesn't matter how smart they are (I only date very smart people). It's like some weird mind set that I can't wrap my head around or even begin to understand.
And the worst part is that they will make fun of you and tell you to 'chill out' when THEY are the ones making you all tense by not getting crap done correctly or on time or whatever.
Being with another type A has made us both less type A because we know we can safely let go of control and the other person has it all taken care of.
Actually, I do know of a few happy couples who are polar opposites like this. The reason they are happy is one of them wants all the control and this way they can have all the control. The other partner is just happy not to have to be responsible for anything.
Ha ha ha! Three couples spring IMMEDIATELY to mind when I think of this.
I would lose all respect for the one who didn't want any control and just enjoyed the ride.
I don't want all the control. I don't want to always be the one responsible for everything.
It's irritating.
I guess it depends how far along the spectrum of type A you are. If you are extreme type A, you may be like the above poster and be unable to trust a type B enough to count on them.
I think as long as neither person is on extreme ends of the spectrum of type A or type B, than it may be best to have some variance.
Oh, sr...HOT HOT HOT sex.
But I don't know if it was BECAUSE we were opposites or despite that.
Me thinks because you were opposites.
