Would you choose to be with a lifelong partner whom you deeply loved, but whose personality made daily life, within more or less tolerable limits, difficult in various ways?
Or, would you choose to be with a lifelong partner for whom you did not have especially deep feelings, but whom you liked and could get along with without much difficulty, and who made daily life relatively easy?
I'm really pretty tolerant, Anvi, and I have my quirks; I expect that others will have theirs.
Like
shoe shopping. I'm opinionated and so on, but if I truly loved a lady
who loved me back, I would take her without a second thought and with the good and the bad - because the good would outweigh the bad by far. So choice 1 above in quote.
A philosopher once said, "Lovers do not finally meet somewhere. They are in each other all along."
So true. The second choice in quote above sounds like a friend. Love gives more than that. But some folks aren't prepared for that ride. So, I think it depends upon what you are prepared for. I'll take the first one. Love with difficulty. I can handle the difficulty.
