People are born different. In order to sustain harmony, sometimes we need to compromise ourselves for someone we love and care. Such you might give up on smoking because of your wife's pregnancy, you might stop going to parties because your boyfriend hates them, you might have to say something too nice to be truth to your daughter because she is going through a hard time and needs some comfort... So will you change yourself for them?

hehe, i'm lucky that i'm one girl,one female, so I neen't worry about giving up somking because of my wife's pregnancy. But as one female, i acctually changed some bad habit in order to adjust myself to him. Before 3 or 4 years ago, i'm one girl with ambitious, with aggressive characteristics, so i always run my heads into stone walls everywhere, even i don't know very well how to get well with other people. He always give me instructions, from the start, i don't like to accept his ideas, but later I find, if you want to live in china well, you must master some characteristc, that's all, then i accept change. May be this is good for me now, but don't lose myself at the end, i hope!

I think I would especially if I know that it's that kind of change that will make our relationship prosper. I just won't like it change will be forced by my partner. I think change is better if it comes from within.

I think you should learn to compromise because that is what you do in a relationship. However, if a person loves you, they should love you for who you are. You should be able to be yourself around the person you love. I have been in a relationship where I couldn't and it doesn't work.
