To compromise or not to compromise

Personal relationships have to negotiated somewhere along the way, and often the compromise can hurt everyone involved. In business relationships, compromise is easier because it is not personal, but a personal relationship it brings tears very often. What happens when a compromise turns out differently then expected?

Quality time between loving couples should never be compromised, but there are many ways to get quality time together without being physically together. I am talking about telephones, chatting online, and making the most of your time together when you finally do see each other.

So how does one compromise to lessen the damage felt by everyone involved? I had someone I love very much make a huge compromise to me, and it turned out way differently then I had ever imagined it would, and I so regret even opening my mouth.

If I had, any inkling that events would have turned out, as they seem to have then I would have not been a baby and whined about being lonely, for I made someone else very miserable. Relationships are all about compromise for sure but some things in a loving relationship should not be compromised at all.

You can compromise about things such as where to dine out and what form of entertainment that the two of you choose to do. That is a great way to reach an agreement so you both are happy. That is because in the end it is not really what you do but it is the quality of time spent together that matters.

Does it really matter which movie you see, or which restaurant you eat that day? No, it does not the only things that does matter is that you are spending time together. Spending quality time with someone you love is all that really matters. So if you enjoy both restaurants then go ahead and compromise, as they say it is no biggie.

When you compromise about anything that would hold a person back emotionally then it is huge problem. It should never be attempted or even contemplated. To hold back someone's personal growth is not only morally wrong, it is also very wrong to do to the relationship.
