I have had friends that always said they couldn't stand things about the person they were with and they wished they could change them..

Do you think a person should change who they are for the sake of love????




Me personaly I think when you truely love someone you love the good and the bad about that person...

My opinion is that we admire people for their strengths but that we love them for their weaknesses.

If that's the case, everybody should love me. I gots lots of weaknesses to choose from.

Take your pick.

My opinion in this is , If you like the person and dont like his weaknesses or just cant deal with them , then by no means date him/her.. Either you like them or love them for who they are , or dont date and find someone who is compatible..

Is like this; If I am not a smoker or beer drinker person, why would I date someone who is , then try to change his mind about not smoking or drinking later, especially if she/he is not ready? scold dunno

Nothing worse than a born again non-smoker. It's almost a religion or something...

Hey Kelley!wave

I agree with you about loving the good & bad about a person.handshake

However..if there was something about me that she didn't like or a flaw of some type that I "COULD" correct,......then sure....why not??dunno As long as it makes me a better person for having done so..I don't see a problem with it.dunno

That's just me, though. grin I'm sure there's plenty of people who disagree with me on that but, me personally...I'm willing to change myself for the better,for me. So...why not for her??dunno

Did I mention that the new & improved model "Danno",comes w/remote control?confused
She can surf(click,click,click,click,click,click,clickaway),until she finds a program she wants to watch!!
Or,hit the "mute button",as the case may be!laugh tongue

....Just my $.02


Good post, girl!!hug wave

I don't think people should have to change who they are for the sake of love but can be willing to change some of their behaviors to make a relationship better.

I would say if you "can't stand" things about the oter person it is a bad match to begin with. There are always going to be things about people you love that may irritate you from time to time but the good should outweigh the bad.

JMO...if you you are wanting to change something about the person you are with then you don't really love them...if you love them you would love everything about them as that is part of who they are professor flower

While I would agree with your core ideal, I think that a person should help their partner if their habits and/or actions are self-destructive. Perhaps I'm reading too much into this. dunno

Work, Work, Work. But felt like stopping in to throw the change at the wall.

I'll be in and out until late.

Hope you're doing well.

(Everyone else, too, of course!)

I don't think you should ever try to change the person who you fall in love with, unless like some said it's a life threatening habit - drug use, alcoholism, etc. There are people who choose someone thinking they'll mold them into their ideal of the perfect person - doesn't work. I expect someone to take me at face value as I do them. Caveat Emptor - let the buyer beware!professor

My "Ex" once told me angrily that I was scrambling my own eggs wrong, not moving the fork in the right direction or rythm, or some such stuff...

She was rather angry when I started laughing! :-)

She still points out whenever she comes over to pick up the kids that I "fold the towels wrong"...

Geezuz H!



peace
