NO ur beliefs and morals and the standards u set for urself are who and what makes ur personality, u shouldnt give up those qualities for anyone and no one should should ask u to.
Nope...If I have to compromise who I am to be in a relationship...then it's not really me the person wants to be in a relationship with...BUT his own idea of who I should be....
I want to be accepted for who I am, not what someone wants me to be.
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.

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.
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...

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....
