Only negative nuclei can fuse with positive nuclei, just like the north and south poles of magnets.

If the nuclei fused, it would destroy both of them, just like the two magnets would be destroyed.

Some nuclei repel each other, and some attract each other, just like magnets.

The best response to explain why pushing the south pole of two magnets together provides a good model for the fusion of two hydrogen nuclei is:
The positive charges of the nuclei make it difficult for the nuclei to fuse, just like the repulsion of the two magnets.
This response effectively captures the concept that like charges repel each other (the positive charges of the hydrogen nuclei), making fusion difficult, similar to how pushing two like poles of magnets together results in repulsion.
