Precisiely. If you sacrifice what is part of you, you become another person. That will happen if you give up your principles, for better or for worse.

icyprincess SG

but if you sacrifice little things, like your habits, isn't dat giving part of you as well?

and it is just a matter of time before the principles succumb too...

"In reality, the only way a relationship will last if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give and not a place that you go to take."

This works when both understand and tell/show each other what is GIVE.

That is the after-effects... You will slowly get with it...

i guess I do love giving but sometimes it is just very tiring to keep giving when the other party doesn't seem to be as committed to giving as you...

hey hey, you are going into a r/s. you are not alone or single anymore, so changes will happen.

icyprincess SG

*sigh* Can't both parties be individuals in a r/s?

Not if those habits are not a result of your principles. I'm sure all of us have habits that are not govern by our principles. and since we are flawed, we may even have flaws that are in conflict with our own principles. the other person may have these flaws but if he shares the same principle, then both of you are working towards correcting those flaws. That is not compromising.

I once heard someone says " It's not about finding the right marriage. It's about making the marriage right." My point here is have a candid chat with your partner, find out what your partner wants, seek more understanding. Life would be better if you know more about the truth rather than keep guessing and guessing and assuming and assuming... Rolling Eyes

icyprincess SG

yea and after talking to him, we ended up breaking up with each other. And it is because we refused to compromise.
