Will You Change for the One You Love?

I know I've changed from the time my son was born and no other love could make me change other than the love i have for my baby. My husband changed his entire life when we started dating.

I think if you love a person you will change unintentionally and that change will remain. It is natural for 2 different people to change to make it work but I feel it should come naturally. If someone tells you then you change with a bitter feeling so both should give each other some time to change.

Yeah! If there are things needed to change, then i will.

If you are both prepared to compromise in a relationship, no great change should be necessary. You fell in love with each other just the way you are.

Well, some of the things that I used to eat I no longer eat because the guy I am with doesn't eat them. Pork and shell fish mainly. I have been with my guy for over 2 years and haven't ate any of these things for almost that much time. Can't say I really crave them as I am used to not eating them but once in a while I wouldn't mind some seafood or even a juicy pork chop or some crispy pork bacon. I stopped eating these things out of respect for him... I could have gone a different route: not eat them around him, and eat them when he is not around, but I didn't want to do that. It wouldn't feel right and would feel like I am cheating... So I decided I wouldn't eat these foods at all.

the fact is that no matter how much u change yourself u can only change your habits but u can never change ur nature. and aftr sm years u wil get tired of changing fr the other person and u wil just quit. so he best aproach is to be real and accept the person for who he is

I agree that, generally, there is no need to change. Certainly no need to change your personality or to change in a way that you don't really want to. I have changed for the better since being with my partner. I haven't changed 'for him' as such, but he's made me want to be the best me I can be. That is a good thing.

i believe that there is no need to change the core of who you really am if you are in a relationship. This does not mean that you don't change in any way. It only means that there is no need to change who you are as a person just so they will like you. But in a relationship there will always be conflicts and that is where compromise will come. There are things that you might not like about each other and if this is tearing you apart then it's time to compromise but it doesn't mean you are changing who you are. You are still you. :) Like for example changing a bad habit. :)

No because changing my self means I am lying to my self and I am not being true to my self. I want to be loved for what I am. No faking and no pretending.

I have changed things about myself for the better-but I haven't completely changed who I am. And yes the person who loves you should love you unconditionally.

No. Not now. I spent too long becoming who I am. If you love me, you love me as I am.

Don't try to change to get somebody to like you because it'll drive you crazy and, someday, the real 'you' will raise its ugly head and say "no more!". Now, dumping some bad habits can't hurt.

I had to make adjustments, compromises, to make life better for both of us. It's a lifelong process of give and take.

Yes, I did but not to the extent that I had to give up my own identity. I have changed a lot but not for my hubbys sake but for my own which were very positive to our relationship.
