Personal Update: Bad News

[StayPuft]

PJON, funny enough, I do not like professional sports either. Me being a guy, that is almost unheard of. LOL! But, I just could not care much less. I like my home town teams and want to see them win (which they almost never do), but I don't care enough to watch them do it. I am fine with hearing about it afterward.

In any case, I don't think you will ever find any relationship where there is no compromise. No two people can ever be exactly the same, so there will always be minor differences between two people who are going to be living together, spending nearly every moment together.

With friends, sure you may be able to have a great friendship without anybody having to compromise anything, but that is because you are just friends. Unless you are also roomies, you hang out a while and you both go home.

I'm not talking about compromising who you are, or other very important things. If you are seriously compromising who and what you are, then there is a good chance that is not the right relationship for you. I'm just talking about minor things. There are never two people who are exactly the same, so there are always minor little issues where compromise is needed. I mean compromise in the definition where you come together to come to a mutually beneficial agreement. I don't mean compromise as in the definition that you are compromising who you are.

Anyways, I hear what you mean, though. I definitely agree that if you are compromising too much, then that is one sign that maybe the relationship isn't right. Especially if the other person does not do the same in return. If they do nothing but take and never give, then that does not work out.
