Compromise

How much are you willing to compromise? For anything?

I think compromising is something that everyone needs to do at some point in their life. Compromising in some situations are for people to be able to live better with each other at some point I guess. In relationships, where two different persons come together, compromise is a must by both parties. Well most times. Sometimes somebody doesn't want to compromise and it says a lot about who they are.

There are somethings I may have been willing to compromise on in earlier relationships. Willing to take somethings or get rid of somethings, or don't do somethings. I think though when you start to not feel like yourself because of these compromises then I think it's no longer a compromise.

I refuse to compromise on:

My happiness.
My partner and I doing things together and building memories. If I have to resort to doing that with someone else then I guess you're not to be my partner. lol
My dreams/aspirations. I suppose sometimes timings have to adjust but I would still hope for the encouragement to get things that I wanted done.
Love... without it what's a relationship?
Respect

I can probably adjust other things, but those things are the core of who I am and what I beleive in. And though I may think that I could get less of those things and survive I can't. I won't. I refuse to compromise ME.

Compromise is important true but not to the extent that you lose yourself entirely, so you're right in your choice of things not to compromise on.
