People Change and so Do Relationships

Our standards can change what we want, what we think we need, what we're expecting and desiring. We're not having to be married to that and stick with, you know, where we were. Year one of the relationship is where we need to stay or else the relationship is in trouble. No, you can reinvent, but you both have to know what you want, what's needed, what's next, what feels good, and be receptive to the other and create solutions that work for both of you. I am not a fan of compromise when it comes to relationships because often people are compromising themselves in the name of love, which is just an act of self betrayal. So instead, don't compromise on your standards. Clearly communicate them. Get creative about how you can find solutions that work for both people and be willing to reconnect and reinvent.
