For some reason, we all like to think that we are different. All of our relationship concerns and arguments are uniquely applied to us. It is simply not true. Each one of us has hidden a weak moment from our friends, believing that no one will understand. The problem is that some of us understand far too well. Sometimes despite all of the problems and drama our significant others cause in our lives,we only see them as significant. There are situations when you know your friends are giving advice that is usually paid for, but you will still ignore it and claim that you are following your heart. The truth is that we all just want to believe someone is willing to change for us, and we are so afraid of missing that opportunity that we simply wait… some more patiently than others. Unfortunately, the majority of the time, while waiting for others to change, you do instead. The relationship you wanted to have and what you are receiving creates too much conflict, and you end up making the compromise.
This all leads to a very valid point: compromise is a necessity in any relationship. Despite all advice, we all follow what feels best for ourselves in the end. Be with the one who makes you laugh, who you can be yourself with, who knows all of your faults and loves you more because of them.
At the same time maybe it takes you losing the ability to speak to see how someone really is. If he ends up in a hot tub full of girls… it’s about time to rethink you compromising anything.
