What Does Compromise In A Relationship Really Mean?

Not all compromise is created equal
Let’s say, for example, you argue about the fact that as a couple, you spend more time with his friends than with yours. But you know, deep down, you have far more in common with his friends than he has with yours. The truth is, your partner does make more of a sacrifice when he sees your friends than you do when you see his. You have a lot of fun with his friends; he doesn’t have much fun with yours. So maybe, in that case, you shouldn’t be spending exactly 50 percent of the time with his friends and 50 percent of the time with yours. Just go see your friends without him, sometimes.
