i dont think itsa fair feeling....u cant xpect like tht from ur better half....coz u shu always remember tht ur better half is also compromising a lot...u shud see things from her point of view too.........

1.Why do we compromise in the first case?
It is because we dont want to bother the other person too much. It is to make the other person's life easy.

2. When do we feel that the other person should also compromise?
When we are not comfortable living with the other person.

So, even if the other person is compromising to his best of knowledge, he should compromise on the right issue.
Foxxyy, if you feel that the other person is not compromising and is not being fair, communicate to your partner where you need your better half to be tolerant with you. I hope things would be better after that.

Yes. There is no problem with wanting to get things out of your relationship. All of us want that. It should be a back and forth bouncy ball as far as compromises. You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours. If not, then the relationship becomes unbalanced which is not good because people might feel like they do more in the relationship or are isolated. Neither of which are good for a healthy relationship to occur

Thank you all,from what I get communicating to the partner that a compromise has been made would do good rather than expecting something in return all the time.

remember that there is no I in relatonshp, if you cannot spell at least, and it is important to look at things from all views before acting.

If you wanna to live happily after marriage then both partner should compromise...in this way nobody will be blamed

relationships are all about making sacrifices,you make them for your partners and your partners should make them for you!!! its just the way it works

My Mother would always give this advice to us, it is that we should never expect anything while giving away somehting!
Similarly Foxxy, you should never expect any compromise in return!
