I tend to give in to his plans more when I would rather be home, but he gives in to me on purchases more than I do him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-the-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-196948 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 07:46:00 +0000 Rubies 196948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hubs is like you. He's easy going about most things but every now and then, he is very opinionated and at those times is when I let him have his way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-the-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-196946 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 07:44:40 +0000 littlebug 196946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably Hubs. I can be kind of stubborn and he's super laid-back. On the few things he feels really strongly about, I'll definitely compromise, but I tend to have stronger opinions about most things. I'm working on being better at compromising. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-the-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-196943 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 07:42:58 +0000 mrsjyw 196943@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's pretty even! both of us are laid back about different things and uptight about different things. </p> <p>I think we both try to see the other's POV when it comes to those differences and with that, DH is always more flexible and open than I am :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-the-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-196884 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 01:55:15 +0000 lemondrop 196884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are both very easygoing, and we both make compromises to keep our family happy. </p> <p>One of my husband's co-workers just told me today that she has seen a big change in him for the better since our son came along. I know that I am much happier now too- we gained a piece that was missing in our day to day life. Worth every compromise in the world! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-the-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-196861 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 23:03:45 +0000 sandy 196861@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: same with us so I usually defer to my husband if he has an opinion bc many times he is flexible and willing to do whatever i want. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-the-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-196859 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 22:55:57 +0000 cyneswith 196859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At first, it was me. I gave up my career because it would require long hours, random international travel, and living in DC. DH chose a job that deploys, and we can't both take jobs that involve international travel to third world countries if we want to have kids, pets, or a house. DH's job is 40 hours a week when he's not deployed, and he hates DC with a passion. When it looked like his job would move to VA, he said he wanted to quit and start college on the opposite coast. I said "OK, here are the places I can make work until I find a job." </p> <p>Now, it's him. If his current job goes away, he'll take a position in DC. He still won't look for a job that deploys less, but at least he's not scheduled to deploy within the year. He's gone from TELLING me how our child's birth will go to saying "wait a minute, you really have researched this, and my opinions are based completely on my mom's pregnancies that happened before I was ten. Maybe we should go with what YOU think is a good fit." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-the-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-196855 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 22:41:24 +0000 Mrs. Pen 196855@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely him. I like things a certain way and I whine if things don't go the way I want them to. DH works very hard to keep this little wifey happy and he'd do anything for me :) lol that totally makes me sound like a spoiled brat, I know - but I'm not! honest. </p> <p>Plus, he likes to serve me and be there for me so I just create opportunities for him to do so ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-the-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-196800 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 20:38:39 +0000 stargal 196800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>def him, its one of my flaws that i need to work on :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-the-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-196749 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 19:58:35 +0000 lovehoneybee 196749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually neither of us completely gets our way, unless it's a very Option A or Option B situation, with no middle ground, and then it depends on who it's more important to...if it's really important to me, then he'll give in, and vice versa. </p> <p>Luckily there have been very very few situations where we both feel equally strong, but opposing sides, and in those situations I tend to give in more than him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-the-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-196742 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 19:55:01 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 196742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know, we are usually on the same page and don't have to compromise much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-the-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-196739 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 19:49:49 +0000 mediagirl 196739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He does. I'm pretty high strung with strong opinions. He is so easy going, he is pretty good at doing things the way I think they should be done. When he has an opinion, he expresses it and I'll normally go along with it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-the-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-196669 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 18:26:04 +0000 mrs. wagon 196669@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely Wagon Sr. He's extremely flexible and I'm very stubborn. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-the-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-196653 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 17:59:09 +0000 Running Elley 196653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think that he compromises a tad more....it's not by much though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-the-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-196619 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 17:22:39 +0000 MamaMoose 196619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me. Hubby can get annoyingly pouty if he doesn't get his way. I think his parents spoiled him a bit as a kid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-the-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-196616 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 17:20:07 +0000 kentuckygirl 196616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hubby is very flexible. He doesn't have strong preferences on much! So I guess he sort of compromises more... But we are both pretty agreeable people. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-the-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-196607 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 17:12:28 +0000 SleepyMonkey 196607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i am very stubborn, so it usually ends up being my husband. we tend to agree on a lot of things, but he is so laid back, that he doesn't care when he does have to compromise. i am still working on being able to compromise more easily =/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-the-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-196592 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 16:59:12 +0000 banana 196592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmmm...that's a good question. I think it's pretty even but maybe I compromise a little more? He would probably say he compromises a little more though. haha. NM, i think it's pretty even. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-the-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-196484 Wed, 20 Jun 2012 15:28:19 +0000 mrbee 196484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't care about most things... but the few things I care about, I really care about. Fortunately, there isn't too much overlap between the things I care about and the things that Mrs. Bee cares about.</p> <p>Who compromises more in the relationship: you or your SO? </p>
