Vetting Your Love Interest: The Dos and Donts
You Can’t Make Someone Fit Into You Paradigm
This happens way too often. We think we can change people and mold them into what we want. To some extent we do change-or evolve-and wind up shifting our paradigms for the sake of the relationship. That is the compromise that exists in every healthy relationship.

Someone who fits all of our requirements and into what we want without us having to do much evolving. Sheldon and Mary Jane both wanted each other to do things their way.
