No, if you fall in love with someone it should be for the person they are, to try and change them is wrong.

Doesn't mean there shouldn't be some compromise on some things tho

It's depends on the quality of the indivual compromising,

if they're a good person then probably not,

but if they suck, sure.

No. Absolutely not.

We all come with flaws; none of us are perfect..

But we all try and do the right thing.

I want to be accepted for who I am, not what someone wants me to be.

Never compromise your own personality to be with someone. If someone loves you they have to love you for who you are, not who they want you to be. professor

I would try to be a better person for the one I love, and compromise on the small stuff is one thing. My core beliefes and values, never. I am who I am and Im too old to change it.

I think you have to compromise as regards what you like to do sometimes, and what you have done when you are single, but as regards compromising who I AM? No way...

Absolutely, Petal. And it's what I give in return. Any changes I make come from within, and are ones I want to make. And I don't ask anyone to change for me, either. I either love them for who they are, or I didn't really love them, did I?

Thats very true, Dru..

Im not perfect, who is?? But I try to be the best person I can be.

I accept other's flaws; I dont want a perfect robot. I want a living, breathing, flawed man.

The very essence of your being..... no. But that's not to say one can't be accommodating, flexible and take on board another's feelings, needs, etc.

We live in a very ME, ME, ME culture these days. A little give and take really isn't hard work!

If someone is rigid and inflexible.... they are not really for me.

"Stones" and "Sponges".....??

Good thread! thumbs up

I agree, Petal. Nobody is perfect, and all of us can only be the best we can...we're human, and thereby we all have flaws. We just need to find another whose flaws we can live with, and who can accept ours as well. hug

I never compromise who I am, but I'll compromise on some of what I do in order to make a relationship work.

Id do anything for my partner..

Id move anywhere in the world for them, if that is what is required. Id stop watching soap operas if it annoyed them, Id stop hogging the duvet, pretty much everything..

But my essence, as Rose said, is my own. I wont change that.

Not even for Brad Pitt.. And I wish he would stop ringing me...frustrated

Yes compromising on what you do is different than compromising who you are....and obviously compromise is needed to resolve issues in any relationship...otherwise someone always come out the loser...and there is never a win win solution for the relationship itself....wave wink hug kiss hug heart beating
