Relationship Chameleons
At the start of every relationship there is a certain amount of what is called “compromise” as people make changes from singledom to living as a couple.For those that have been on their own for a long period of time, the transition is somewhat more arduous and in many cases the lack of flexibility or inability to adjust can be the downfall of what potentially could have been a fruitful union.
Then again, there are some people, like chameleons, who have no difficulty adapting themselves to suit the situation in which they find themselves. In the main, I would suggest these type of people are relationship nomads, they dont have any strict routine or sense of purpose in their lives.
So, the question is.........
Do relationship chameleons offer a better prospect of a longer lasting, worthwhile relationship.... Or not?

The thing about those 20+ year relationships is both parties realize the compromise has to be life long and the concept of being in a good relationship is worth it. Those who lack the wisdom to realize that, well their relationships never last that long.
We all have our habits and do not want to change them. That's the reason why most of them prefer to stay in their own house rather than moving in together.
I don't think that chameleons are likely to last longer. They only change their colours to adapt temporarily with the environment.
Who wants to live with a chameleon ? I DO NOT!
arent we all chameleons even in our real life... not only in our relationship,... at work, to our friends, to relatives even sometimes to ourself..
And i do not think it is bad at all since it is just a short period for self defence..
CS is an example with all our various avatars.
I quess, if two people decide for a relationship and when they both want the same things in any case and situation, a chameleon will ruin this again. But, if one of both wants different things than the other, the attitude of a chameleon could be helpful for both.
Stuck at airport with dwindling free minutes no whatsapp or Skype and dying battery oh I love travelling.
I would very much like a chameleon to pick me up right now as they ARE good company short term
