That was me asking a rhetorical question a few days back .Actually the question is not as rhetorical as it sounds

I always seem to be compromising and giving in to my wife. She screams so much , that I want to just make her stop and give in. Does that make me a weak person ? My friends say that I am henpecked. But compromise brings peace and I like my peace..what do you say?

One has to realise that the question of compromising arises when you are forced to do something , otherwise it really is not a compromise. In a relationship it is important that to realise that there is a distinct difference between compromising and adjustment. don't we adjust with our family members and our friends then why cant we adjust with our counterparts.

So first realise that whether it is a compromise or not and then complain.One should not complain unnecessarily without realising what one is complaining for .

Well the word compromise is sometimes misleading.
Its basically how you interpret it .
So there cannot be a definate answer to what you say .

That's a no brainer- there are some things that couples must comprimise over, its just the way it goes. That doesnt mean change who you are or your views.

hey...i think compromising means meeting in the middle...it doesn't mean that you have to give at all times...

but i don't think you're weak by giving in either...as long as you give in whole heartedly...

If you do it lovingly to your wife, I think it is okay. Don't do it with a heavy heart. Try to get your wife to compromise also.

kindheart,

This really shouldn't be a question...compromise is a vital part of any relationship. Unless you plan on cloning yourself and marrying the clone, I would get used to compromise,

There is a time for compromising and there is also a time to make a stand. It really depends on the issue.

Agreeing to compromise is important. We cannot have our own way in a relationship always. There are always two parties involved so both should agree. Since we have different minds, sometimes we have different likes. If one or both will force his want on the relationship, they will only disagree and fight.
