I'm pretty set in my ways considering I was single for over a decade. Fortunately, my hubby and I are pretty compatible with "our ways". So everything flows pretty smoothly.

I refuse to be set in anything including concrete
I need flux in my life
without change we become stagnant
we need change in order to grow as human beings

I think it will be difficult when we meet someone, more so if they move into 'your' house...might be ok if their not bossy and demanding.. when I dated and BF came to stay the weekend, sometimes I looked forward till he went home and I could chill again..

I've always been pretty fexible.I find it beneficial and often times necessary to be fexible and tolerant of how people did things and open to sharing.I chose to be someone who didn't become a pain the butt or ahve a total fit just because someone might've moved a throw pillow acouple inches from where it was originally setting.Or didn't always put the magazines back in the same exact spot where they were.I wanted my guests to feel at home and comfortable in my home when they visited.

Having recently become part of a couple after being single for quite a while, this is a very relevant thread for me!!
Yep, you do get into certain ways of doing silly little things, like where you put your kitchen knives, and whether you like to go to sleep with the TV on or off. Silly, inconsequential things really, but things that CAN become confrontational when you become a couple if you dont get a grip on yourself!!
I think it really just is a matter of compromising. Simple as, really. There are ways around most things, if you want it to work enough. Silly things can cause arguments, but when you take a step back, its really clear to see whats important and what is not.
Of course, its always better to be with someone who has similar ways of doing things - as is the situation I am now in - but even then, you are bound to do things slightly differently. I dont really care, to be honest, which way the knives are put in or suchlike! To be happy, and enjoy each other is obviously more important than which way the toilet tissue is put in..

I think I am fairly flexable on Most things as just daily life, I do like to do things Right, As I have Learned over My Jobs as a First Class Shipfitter, PipeFitter,Gov.Cert.Welder, Milwright,
and worked At Nuclear Power Plants,Ect, For 30 Years I have had Special Training to do it the right way, Carry many Certifications, or be out of a Job.... Tho I have also learned how Home life Balances out on a lil different scale...
I still have my ways I guess, tho still learning too, Because everyone is different, and it WILL TAKE TIME just to learn one another, and adjust to a new Environment...
I dont usually sweat the small stuff, but the biggest key thing to me, is finding The RIGHT ONE, as I dont need games, and wont play them, but a right Heart, and right Match, WE Will work it out.
The Key thing to Me is BOTH have to be working togather as a team, Not as a Tug a War, everythings a struggle.....
and two must have simular Goals to do this.... and then it can Be the way, it was Meant to be... Peacefully, loving and caring
Life Will be What you Make of it, but PROPER PARTNER IS Crucial To a successful Relationship....
When he goes that way, and she goes the other way is not allways best.... Nice to do it togather,Lovingly!

I am very similar to you betty, never thought I would like being on my own but I have been now for about 3 years. Geez time flies when you are having fun ...
I like it so much that it has put doubts in my mind about settling into a full time live in type relationship again. Time will tell, who knows what is ahead.

AHHH.....call it what you will....set in your ways,whatever.
It's your life,and living your life the way you see fit is not selfish.
Demanding others to live their life the way you see fit is.
SO my advice is do what you feel is best.

I am extremely flexible in many and most things, but to be honest I am not totally flexible in all things.
