Knowing When To Push For What You Need In Your Relationship
Weigh the sacrifices
Who will be making the larger sacrifice, if they don’t get their way? Let’s say you live in the apartment your partner likes instead of the one you like. Perhaps you’re giving up living near your friends. But if you’d lived in your apartment of choice, your partner may have had to commute over an hour to work every day, whereas, at this current place, he can commute just ten minutes. If you think about it, living near your friends is a perk, but not living near them isn’t technically a sacrifice. Meanwhile, driving over an hour to work would truly be a sacrifice for your partner.
