Conflict of Interest : How Does It Affect One's Relatinship??

hello rberon and thank GOD am single! because i dunno how to deal with other people with different interest, but my family had this conflict of interest as well. like, they like facebook with regards to farm-ville while i liked mylot but i joined facebook and played farm ville recently. i can't believe they asked me for my paypal account when it comes to buying seeds in the FARM no way!. well, you've been into that relationship for a long time i know you can manage.

hmmm for me I think that is also one thing why problems occur in a relationship. one agrees while one declines isn't it confusing? _

I think that it helps if a couple have similar interests. I got married to a man that was vegetarian, loved animals and was keen on international traveling. However he had a nasty temper. One time we had a conflict of interest and he pushed me against the wall which hurt me. He followed me out into the street another time we had a conflict of interest and shouted at me. Our marriage lasted six years and then we got divorced.

In my view every relationship cant be maintained by one side only. both of the sides must take care to maintain that. both sides need to do compromises for others and you can say this is a type of sacrifice. even there is a compromise between parent and a child. they do alot of sacrifice and compromises. they dont care about them to nurture him. if they expect the same and dont do the compromise you can imagine the result. i think both of you must be understanding in my view.

I can't agree with you anymore. A couple can benefit a lot from their similar interests. But if you have conflict of interests with your partner, you may have misunderstandings with each other. For the long run, it may lead to some serious problems, such as conflictings, being away from each other. Sometimes, for the conflict of interest, people may heart their partners unintentionally. To find people who have similar interests is always a better choice if you want to keep a long relationship with them.

Relationship requires a lot of love, respect and understanding. People have different interests, likes or dislikes, even beliefs. If you have a partner it's hard to mold it into one. To avoid conflict, as the other mylotters said, compromise is the keyword. That's what I and my husband do as well. But reality is, there are some things that can't be compromised or your partner just simply won't meet you in the middle. What are you gonna do? Well, in my opinion, that's where respect comes in. As long as it's not hurting your own interest then let your partner be. My husband initially didn't like socialization sites as well. He just lets me do my thing online. But when he saw me keeping in touch with old friends and found faraway relatives online he finally got interested. I think, eventually, your wife will realize that your interest in mylottinng could give her exra money for her shopping and other girly needs. Show her the money! Cheers!

My husband and I are like the both of you. The answer is comprimise. Give and take. Good luck.

hi rberon1985, well for me, it doesn't affect our relationship, me and my hubby have different wants in our self and in our life, he wanted to watch horror movies,eat pizza, but me doesn't want it...it really depends on your self also with your partner...there's no impossible if you can do what he/she wants, give and take, if u both close your mind about it, it can really affect your relationship and deal to a bad situation...there's a saying "if u can't beat them, join them"....keep smiling, hope you got what i need to express...thanks and God Bless....Happy Mylotting.....^_____^

hi it's a natural thing about in the relationship. it's actually a bit bored when the two of you have the same interest, with different interest, it could spice up the relationship and thus, learn something from each other. depends on howmature you can be to handle a relationship. it never was easy to manage a relationship.

Hi friend, Actually i am not married and just have a girlfriend. Of course, conflict of interest can affect the relationship. What you should do is just co-ordinating with each other. As to me, i always compromise to my girlfriend, as i am older and more mature. Happy mylotting1

Hi rberon, I think conflicts are a way to grow intellectually. If u dont differ then u cant have a conflict, and if u cant have a conflict u cant be looking at solutions, can u? Well, one of ur problems can be easily resolved. She loves watching television? Let her. U come to the computer and tune in ur favorite comedy with some tv tuner. U can use ear phones. Both are happy. As to mylotting and facebook, well, I think u need another laptop - that is all. That costs less than a separation, does it not? There is always a solution. :) Find it. :)

If you have conflict of interest between that little thing you mention, it won't affect your relationship. You both need to adjust to each other's wants and needs. I think that conflict between you and your wife can be resolve if you take time to talk for a while and listen to each other.
