Your values sit on each other's sore spots. Mutual respect from a distance; mutual bruising up close.
What it feels like
Formal. Both of you sense the other's priorities poke at what you'd rather protect, so you stay carefully courteous.
Where it works
Occasional, structured contact — it can even feel refreshingly exotic in small doses.
Where it strains
Close quarters. The longer the exposure, the more each side feels quietly criticised.
