Out on date night last night with the Husband watching his choice of Star Wars and I was reminded of the fact that there often isn’t a win/win solution. Occasionally there is but more often the best you can hope for is a win/ok, a win/I don’t mind, an ok/ok or a win/’grin & bear it but in return I’d like …!’. Yep today we’re thinking about compromise. Absolutely essential in long term relationships (and families) & it needs too be two-way. If 1 partner always feels they are the compromiser they will eventually get fed up and resentful. And at this time of year there may need to be more compromise than normal, for everyone. There are different ways of compromising however and the grouchy ‘why do we always do what you want?’ or ‘I bloody hate this’ turns the situation into a lose/lose for everyone. So if you’re the one compromising find that place in you that wants your partner (mother-in-law, great Aunt Agatha, kids etc) to be happy & come from there in how you approach the situation. Having agreed to it, you might as well try & enjoy yourself. And remember Gin & Twiglets can make any situation brighter! Oh and turns out the film was pretty good too ????. Pls Like/Share & Compromise with joy (Gin) this Christmas!
