Some partners are drama queens/kings. They tend to get emotionally involved with random things happening around them. For instance, one of my friends has a girlfriend who is always overly-concerned with other people’s problems. She gets all caught up with trying to solve their problems for them. She usually ends up causing more problems for herself and those around her.
My friend’s girlfriend finds things to be emotional about. For instance, when Princess Diana died, she was a complete mess, and she didn’t even personally know the woman! She brought that drama home by calling in sick to work, acting dramatic with her boyfriend and generally making sure everyone knew the she “really” cared about Princess Diana.
If these drama types are paired with a partner who is not as emotionally dramatic as they are, problems will definitely arise in their relationship. Again, I cannot offer any concrete solution to this type of problem. I included this section as a means of bringing this issue to the reader’s attention.
In any event, I imagine that any solution to this type of problem would again involve a healthy amount of compromise. Perhaps that way two of these types can save the world together!
