“Not in my experience. If you always have to compromise, you’re either with the wrong person, or you’re not putting her needs ahead of your own. When you really love someone, you naturally think of them before yourself. There’s no need to compromise. I’m not saying it always works like that. Sometimes you have to stop and ask yourself why you want something, what is it your partner desires, and find a balance between conflicting needs that makes you both happy. It takes a lot of inner listening. But the first step is patience.”
