I believe open communication at all coast matters a lot. There are times that both should compromise in some things (if not all) to meet each other somewhere in between. We all know that we belong and came from a different family and possibly different upbringing in life. We have different sets of mind and people are rational. Talking without accusation is probably the right thing to do. I think it is hard to measure how far we can go and stretch our patience for your other half. Just remember that we are not perfect and supporting each other would matter a lot and makes wonder in some way.

Mind you, you don't have to go that level just to have a good and lasting relationship. Just take it into consideration and admit that it is hard to keep it moving if we want some perfection or even near perfection when it comes to relationship. There is no such thing as perfect relationship, it is just the perception by someone what they want in their life. Individual preference, sets of standards is another burden that we are going to surpass in certain relationship. Why is it hard for us to accept that each of us have their own flaws and theirs nothing we can do about it but to accept that person for who they are and for what they are. There are always reason or reasons behind all this thing but it will take so much time to dig it and so it all depends on you if you want to.

Relationship is a two way street.Compromise can never be on one side;in our olden days, it was expected that the woman did a bit of compromising with the male chauvinistic attitude [particularly in the Indian context]but with increasing financial independence of women, their levels of education, this scene is on the wane. No partner can expect to have his /her view as priorty;but if something is for the common good of the family the more logical of the two must be allowed to take the decision. If there is good understanding, and no intrusion of personal space and invasion of one/s peace, any relationship can go on;otherwise it is better to call a halt.I am talking from the woman's and man's point of view. say for example-if a woman expects the man to always make compromises and that he should be sensitive to her needs , while she herself does not show the same sensitivity , then the man must say'thus far and no further.'A woman can also say the same thing if he intrudes too much on her and abuses her physically or emotionally.No one partner has the right to do this. It is not a question of being impulsive , but 'give and take respect 'must be the policy.If one wants only to take then it is not on.It has to stop;at least an ultimatum should be given by the oppressed party[of course it must be an unbiassed judgement]
