Golden retriever partner / black cat partner

Čeština

A golden retriever partner describes someone open, friendly, and trusting, without emotional games. A black cat partner is the opposite: independent, more guarded, and keeps some distance. The pairing of the two types is a popular opposites-attract archetype.

Social media popularized these labels as a simplified stand-in for attachment styles.
