I believe in "to thyself be true," so I can be around anybody and talk about anything without having to compromise myself. If she loves me and want me to be who I am not, then she really doesn't love me for who I am but only for who she wants me to be, which I will not.
Well the obvious answer would be No. In my opinion yes yes yes I would change for the better in a second. I am proud to humble myself. I have been so self centered and egotistical growing up. I have always been entitled and a spoiled brat. I would love to change who I have been . Now that I am venturing on the second half of my life, compromise is something I respect.

right on
ometimes whasts called compromise is actually growth
druidess6308: 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?
After all my relationships which have been only a few in the romantic area, they all lasted five years or more, I think changing for the better of the family etc. is soooooo smart. changing is cool.
prussiafox: er... that post was directed at Witchay...
Control is control... period.
There's a differemce in the motivations. But some women also have bad motivations. Here's a clue. If you look up sites about abusive men and abusive women, the psychologists all say that men who want to tell you what to wear are abusive. (Because they want to make their girlfriend into a status symbol.) Not so much stuff about that in text about abusive females. There's a reason for that. The two genders sometimes have very different motivations for doing what they do. And I never tried to get down on my exes and force them to change. That's not what I;m into.
I will say yes too, as in my experience, we MUST be somewhat flexable to be able to adhere, to each other, and COMPROMISE IS LIFE AND DEATH of a relationship.....
Compromise..... is Critical to every Serious relationship, and if you are NOT WILLING TO FEX, it will Break, and Love will Drown, untill we learn HOW TO CXOMPROMISE< and let it Build the Bons of love that Can weather the Storms..... We all must be willing to Change Some,
And if you wont flex some, you will never Endure a Lasting Love.....
because you will be to busy defending all of your Habits and ways..... Meaning Many are too stubborn, to hold on to love! And Many will Loose it again! Thats my opinion, from My past experiences.......

To compromise your core beliefs, no, but all the little things, of course. I would change as I can to make that special lady happy.
I think I said that all basackwards. I mean never compromise whom you are but put down the things that cause harm Strive forward as a determined individual
Compromise? Not sure I would use that word. But I have and will if need be step out of my comfort zone and try new things with that man in my life. Who knows we may find things we enjoy that we never would have tried otherwise.
I won't change the person I am just to make him happy. But I don't have to change me as he does not have to change himself to experience little things that bring us closer
avecaim: I don't know if I would CHANGE me. I know I want kids and I wouldn't want to change that.
As Thumper said, That is a Core value to you.....
Myself, I had kids , and they are Grown, and i do not want any more, so in a case of your core values, you need to find someone that also wants kids,
So That limits you to who would be your best match..... A jerk that wants kids, or a man that Loves you......
you must look for that in a man, Just because he also wants kids is no reason to think he is the right one for You..... But first you should find true Love..... Kid dont need unstable parents!
