Re: Settling v. Compromising

Do you compromise where instead of 4 kids you have 2?
Do you walk away from what could be the true love of your life?


When we compromise in a relationship, are we compromising who we are? Do we lose ground?
I believe there are some issues that can not be compromised.

In this example, if one person wants kids and the other doesn't, then I believe it is best to go your own seperate ways. Kids are not like chossing which movie to see on Friday (action movie or love story ).

I think alot of time we as women believe that we can change a man. We think that if we love him more, harder, or stronger, that he will eventually change. It is when we take on this mindset that we began to "lose ground" or most importantly our own self-worth and who we are.
