It is so wonderful to have someone that you absolutely love and adore. The other becomes your whole world and it feels fantastic to be with them. It makes you want to make everything right, wonderful and romantic.

Even when things seem so perfect, there will be times when you will get frustrated with them. Even so, many individuals somehow justify it or wander off because they want to be perfect together. They think they must and can do anything for the other person just to make the relationship last. This is the part where things can go a bit wrong.

Wanting to make everything right and compromising everything to stay together can have negative consequences, for both partners. You teach yourself and your partner that you no longer matter, the other person matters. In the long run, you might end up having to figure out why you don’t get the respect and love you deserve.

Compromise is good in small amounts, such as taking the time to help you partner out, or doing something on the weekend that they like instead of what you like. However, willing to give up all things that are important, meaningful to you will put you unwanted situations such as feeling neglected, unsatisfied even depressed.

The biggest advice to take here is to be open about what you like and dislike from the beginning to the end. Be open about the fundamental things or desires you have and let your partner acknowledge their presence. Do not give up or hide these aspects of yourself just because you think your partner won’t like it. If you give up on the fundamental things that gives you excitement and happiness, you might end up not getting the satisfaction you once got from your relationship. Furthermore, you might feel worthless, angry, sad and disappointed.

Bottom line is to be open to your partner, set limits to things you compromise about and enjoy your partnership.
