Can differences in communication styles ever converge to make a relationship work? I talk emotionally but my ex speaks in logic.

They probably can if you can at least see the other person's point of view and understand and try to make things work from there

It depends upon the level of self awareness you both have. What I mean is I always think I can learn something when talking to a person with different ways of thinking. I love that.

Yes I’m emotional and my fiancé is logical and it’s a nice balance because we’re both so willing to hear each other’s perspective and see it as a positive!

Fortunately I’m in a relationship where we are both logical thinkers.

At work I struggle with several who have emotional reactions (especially as leaders) for DAYS before logic kicks in. The drama is draining.

It can. The important thing is communication. Keep it going. Don’t go into silent treatments or withdrawing.
As long as you are talking it will always work

No. I don't think so. My ex (boy) was the emotional one. I (logic) never saw eye to eye with him, even though I wanted to. The accusations always escalated from him. I left and found someone who understands me and speaks my language and there is no strife, no arguments etc. What a stress relief and breath of fresh air.

I’m sure it can, if that logical person is also very patient. I’m not. I don’t think I’d get very far at all with someone who just operates on emotion.

Would you rather have an overwhelming amount of work on your plate or barely any work at all? I’ve experienced both and I can honestly say that I’d rather have an overwhelming amount of work. If it seems like no one needs my help on anything, I just end up feeling self-conscious about the quality of my work and my reputation as a professional.

I just spoke with a software architect that went back to school to learn software engineering after law school because it was more lucrative and had less hours. He’s worked his way up and has the skills and authority to work 6:30am-10am and gets to work remotely. We discussed that results/outputs is better than billable time like in law and public accounting. Yet, his parents and others would view him as “lazy” but he does his job and makes a fantastic living. Time>Money and Results>Hours

Every night for like the past month I’ve been getting incredibly emotional about adulthood. I miss the lack of responsibility, the simplicity of life, friends were always around, and less pressure to be successful.

I’m 3 years out of college now so it’s not like I just started doing this stuff, but I am feeling the exact same feeling as I did when I first started work and just wanted to be back in college. I know I just need to grow up and accept that’s how life is but it’s incredibly upsetting
