Generally, my experience had been ridiculously pleasant. We never saw conflict as a bad thing and saw each other's opposition as an opportunity to learn something new. Mutual friends who tried to meddle or assert that we were fighting was unconsciously tagged teamed by me and him.

Basically, we called them out for trying to get in our business. He and I had a type of arrogance where we knew we've got everything handled.

In retrospect, I don't think we fought much as we hated/disliked the same things. Our differences were on trivial matters. We quickly found compromise on those things.
