Compromise Works When Both Sides Give, Not When One Side Endures
Real compromise means both people move toward the middle. If you're always the one bending, adjusting, swallowing your needs to keep the peace -- that's not compromise, that's submission with a friendlier name. Healthy negotiation feels like teamwork, not like one person slowly disappearing. Check the ledger honestly: are both of you giving something up, or is only one of you doing the heavy lifting?
The point
If only one person is always adapting, that is not compromise -- it is submission.
