Love on Wall Street

How much should a person invest into "falling in love"? Should it be weeks, months or years? Once you are there, should you wait for the other person to catch up or bail before they decide to sit the race out? Say you are the type that needs a more aggressive investment. You want intensity, desire, friendship. You want the whole package. You need that passion to bond with a lover for life and the risk is worth the large payout. But you make a bad trade that has your hands tied. Your reckless day-trade of throwing love around made you wind up falling for someone who needs a slow, marinating investment in order to consider keeping it for the long term. Should you compromise your needs (that you know are the things that will keep this relationship lasting for you) and take the chance that it may be ok skipping the reciprocal passion to let your partner marinate? Or should he/she try to step it up to try to make his/her partner satisfied? My question today is strictly philosophical: If two people are generally comaptible, but not on the same page, can they ever get to retirement? Should we keep the portfolio we ended up with or should instinct forsee the as a red flag to failure? Fight or flight? Wait it out or leave before you've wasted years? I personally have no idea. I haven't yet gotten it right.
