what is compromise? Here @prettylifestylez, we see this as settling for something when you’d rather take something else. is this what a relationship is about? having to settle for something else because your partner wants that else?
modern times has brought us to an age where true healthy relationships have lost their meaning and have become something different from what it was truly intended for. Advancement in technology has given us social media which has presented the notion that the ultimate base for relationship is to compromise. is this a healthy belief because it’s held by a large group of people? no! it isn’t.
in the most real sense, true friendship- not a casual acquaintance or selfish friendship, both persons who are joined together heart and soul is the foundation for all successful long-term relationships. if you’re reading this and you’re probably seeking a partner in a relationship, it’s pertinent and highly important for you to know this.
most people make all the wrong decisions and go into a relationship for all the wrong reason and in the end, you hear them say that relationships are about compromise. there’s an iota of truth in this but if this is the totality of the foundation of any relationship, it is bound to fail. this is because both partners in the relationship would realise in the long run that one gives in to the others wants and compromises his/her own more. he/she is bound to get to a limit and would feel he/she is giving more than they receive and ultimately the relationship ends.
this is why it is important for a relationship to be founded on the mutual friendship between partners that share similar levels of purpose, motivation, interests, values, views, dreams and personality. so in the long run, while others are compromising to be happy, they are both living and growing happily without a different point of views that lead to compromise.
