Relationships Require Compromise

Each person must bend a little in order to make it work. If one gives more than the other that’s not balanced. 

Because one person is taking advantage of the other. You may think you’re simply making your partner happy by doing everything he/she wants to do.

But what about yourself? 

Don’t you deserve to be happy in your relationship? Don’t you deserve do do things you want to do sometimes?

Why would you let your partner make all the decisions and you just go along with them because you think you should?

Don’t you want to have any say in your relationship, your life? Or do you think your partner will get mad or upset if you disagree about something?

That’s not a healthy relationship. That’s selfish and one sided. And the only person happy in the relationship won’t be you.

Am I right?

So why are you not compromising? Or are you too afraid your partner will leave you if you don’t agree with him/her all or almost all of the time?

That’s not a healthy relationship. And you know it. A relationship is a partnership, not a dictatorship.

A healthy and successful relationship is made up of compromises. 

And if yours isn’t, if your partner doesn’t see it that way, maybe it’s time to rethink your relationship. 

You can suggest changes, compromises, but if your partner refuses, then maybe it’s time for YOU to make a change.

Before it’s too late.
