#16 Give and take. Every now and then, relationships need compromises and sacrifices from both partners to function harmoniously. In a healthy relationship, the compromises are balanced and both partners are happy to accommodate each other’s demands. But in an unhealthy relationship, it’s always just one partner who bends over backwards while the other partner just wants things done their way.
Even if the relationship seems perfect today, it may be so only because the giving partner may be timid or may not have voiced their unjust treatment yet. But once the imbalance in compromises comes out in the open, it’ll leave both partners bitter and angry because neither can understand the other.
