But with that said, I think he does end up compromising more when we can't come to an equal decision.</p> <p>I'm really stubborn and he's a lot better at moving past things then I am. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-27284 Sun, 04 Dec 2011 00:03:01 +0000 Red 27284@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely compromise more. Don't get me wrong, I make plenty of household decisions and we talk through the big stuff together but when it comes down to it, I compromise more because he's very particular (ok, anal) about how certain things are done and frankly, it's not worth rocking the boat to get my way. That said, when I do rock the boat, I do get my way 99% of the time. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-26449 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 19:35:54 +0000 ALittleP 26449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely compromise more but he makes up for it in other ways - like letting me work part-time from home, getting me the puppy that I wanted, etc.</p> <p>He definitely compromises when I ask him to do so though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-26448 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 19:35:47 +0000 MamaMoose 26448@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellemybelle: My brother is this way too because my mom coddled him. So intend to try really hard not to do this if we ever have a little boy. Who ever becomes my daughter in law some day better appreciate it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-26438 Fri, 02 Dec 2011 19:30:52 +0000 daniellemybelle 26438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: My hubs is kind of like that too! He's the baby of the family, plus he's kind of an only child because his siblings were so much other. He is definitely the golden child and has a hard time being wrong, or letting others get their way. *sigh* I am stubborn too so compromising is not always our strongest suit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-25676 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 19:48:39 +0000 wife09mommy11 25676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It really depends on the type of situation it is but overall we tend to meet in the middle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-25665 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 19:44:10 +0000 Mrs Sorbet 25665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely compromise more, but it's because I make a conscious decision to do so. </p> <p>I am an only child and grew up usually getting what I wanted. My husband had a brother and his parents have very hard personalities and were very strict with their kids. Like, they couldn't even get a box of pop-tarts in the grocery store if they asked. They never were allowed to get candy or ice cream, couldn't watch TV, their parents never surprised them with trips to the park or small treats, nothing. I had a wonderful childhood and his was just so much different than mine.</p> <p>I always feel sad when my DH brings up his childhood, and I like to spoil him a bit now :). So when he has really set his mind on something that he wants, I usually don't interfere, even if I don't really want it myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-25591 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 18:07:57 +0000 cyndistar3 25591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would have to say I do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-25588 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 18:04:06 +0000 mrsjyw 25588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH definitely compromises a lot more often than I do on big things. I compromise a lot more on the lil things much more easily. :) It's a good balance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-25449 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 14:07:50 +0000 Rescuemom10 25449@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both do, but I would say that I do more than he does about a lot of small things. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-25205 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 11:00:59 +0000 Mrs. Marbles 25205@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mr. Marbles definitely compromises a lot more than I do. But usually it has to do with small things like what to eat for dinner or what gift to buy someone... I usually have more preferences and Mr. Marbles doesn't or is more laid back so it ends up that he compromises more. When it comes to important things though like LM's schooling or daycare, we'll both compromise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-25132 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 09:01:54 +0000 mediagirl 25132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He compromises a lot more than I do. It's true, I'll admit it and he'll tell you it, too. He has had a few things that he really pushed for and he got them. When he does push for something, I do normally compromise because I know he doesn't do it all that often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-25128 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 08:55:33 +0000 Adira 25128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we both compromise, but on different things. When it comes to house stuff, he definitely compromises more, because he knows I care more about stuff like that than he does. Then there are things that I definitely do the compromising, if it's something he cares about more than I do. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-25100 Thu, 01 Dec 2011 07:40:12 +0000 Rubies 25100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband compromises more only because he's so laid back. I can get really anal about things so the hubs just goes with the flow. BUT, when he sets his mind to something, then I compromise because it's rare for him to be dead set for something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-24964 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 23:03:25 +0000 Mrs. D 24964@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He thinks he does, because I always insist we talk things out when its something I need to think about, and he says we always end up picking my way.... but he's not aware of all the times I just let him have his way, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-24928 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 22:33:12 +0000 Wondermommy 24928@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm in the same camp as most of the PPs. I'd say I do most/more of the compromising, but if I were to ask him, his answer would probably be that HE does more compromising. So maybe it's equal? I suppose it depends on the topic at hand, because there are definitely areas where one of us is dead set on a certain way, but it doesn't matter to the other, and vice-versa. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-24912 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 22:22:16 +0000 tequiero21 24912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i'll tell u i compromise more, but i'm sure my husband feels he compromises more. maybe we're equal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-24897 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 22:12:43 +0000 Rosie Girl 24897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we both do... except we are both really stubborn :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-24889 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 22:07:56 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 24889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do. Every single time. But he makes up for it in other areas :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-24882 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 21:59:02 +0000 Andrea 24882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say the hubs because he is easy going and likes me to make decisions, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-24875 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 21:50:20 +0000 MamaMoose 24875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do. Hubs is super used to getting his way because his entire family puts him on a pedestal and treats him like a prince. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-24872 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 21:46:50 +0000 eeh 24872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh I do for sure. He is very stubborn and set in his ways and if he doesn't want to do something, he's not doing it. Period. End of discussion. He's not mean about it or rude, he just won't do it. Nobody has EVER accused my husband of being whipped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-24814 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 21:10:24 +0000 heffalump 24814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both do. I think it just depends on the subject, for who's more willing to budge. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-24803 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 20:57:02 +0000 runsyellowlites 24803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmmm... on most things we tend to agree. And then the compromise depends on what the issue is, usually we will both end up compromising to meet in the middle on something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-24802 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 20:55:56 +0000 ecogirl 24802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I definitely do. I am super low maintenance and don't really ask for much. I do have to really work to be accepted by his parents so I feel like I'm always bending over backwards. Also I am here alone dealing with everything half the time so I think just that in itself is a big compromise. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-24801 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 20:53:42 +0000 mynoahbear 24801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both compromise, but I think overall, my husband compromises more than I do. We can both be pretty stubborn, but because he doesn't like to argue, he usually will back down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-24777 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 20:17:34 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 24777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think he does. That sounds bad when I type it out. But only hen it comes to things like paint colors and decorating. I usually have an idea and he has something different. He tends to go with my idea because he likes to give my what I want. Christmas decorating was a hard one because I grew up with white lights and color coordinated ornaments. He was very much against it and wanted his colored lights so we had those for four years. This year it was time to buy a new tree and he picked out one with white lights without me even asking. I thought it was a nice gesture.</p> <p>When it comes to more serious things like finances we always meet in the middle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-24773 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 20:14:47 +0000 tejbee 24773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@banana: haha +1 Sounds like us. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-24765 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 20:07:13 +0000 banana 24765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we both compromise equally but if you asked my SO, he would say he does. I can be pretty stubborn so he tries to compromise in order to not cause any fights. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-compromises-more-in-your-relationship-you-or-your-so#post-24764 Wed, 30 Nov 2011 20:05:09 +0000 mrbee 24764@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I read once that every relationship needs at least one person who is willing to compromise. Of course, it's more fun being the person who doesn't compromise than being the person who always compromises. Although it's most fair if you both compromise equally. :-)</p> <p>Who compromises more in your relationship: you or your SO? </p>
