Dnomyar -> compromise (4/4/2007 7:21:57 AM)
Where does compromise begin? Where does it end.? Should you compromise at all?

Reposted: I get everything I want because I don't settle :) People settle when they think they can't really get what they want. I think I've learned that, when it comes to choosing who you spend your life with as an intimate partner, you can get everything you want, and more. Compromise is a fact of life- compromise means understanding that ideal is not always ideal, that your illusions might not be the best thing for you, and that someone else's immediate needs come before yours to create an ultimately fulfilling relationship together. Settling however means giving up something important to you, it means not giving yourself what you know you need most. Settling might be necessary when buying a house- but not for choosing a life partner. http://www.collarchat.com/m_894447/mpage_1/key_compromise/tm.htm#894642 settling or compromising? http://www.collarchat.com/m_669767/mpage_1/key_compromise/tm.htm#669815 compromise http://www.collarchat.com/m_651324/mpage_1/key_compromise/tm.htm#651340 Do you believe that dominance gives one the right to be selfish? http://www.collarchat.com/m_580838/mpage_1/key_compromise/tm.htm#580878 compromising on the ds or ms dynamic? http://www.collarchat.com/m_352315/mpage_1/key_compromise/tm.htm#352318 compromise vs settling http://www.collarchat.com/m_203433/mpage_1/key_compromise/tm.htm#203443 how far would you compromise?

LA, Thanks as always for providing links :-) you expressed my thoughts on this subject quite nicely in one of the thread links you provided: quote: Compromise is a fact of life- compromise means understanding that ideal is not always ideal, that your illusions might not be the best thing for you, and that someone else's immediate needs come before yours to create an ultimately fulfilling relationship together.

If you yourself are willing to compromise, more often than not, your partner recognizes this and does the same for you. I wish you well melissa

MasterFireMaam -> RE: compromise (4/4/2007 8:20:10 AM)
The limits and boudaries of compromise are self defined. Some don't compromise at all or much because to do more is to sell themselves for whatever it is they're compromising for. Others are willing to be happy with what the other person has to give. I'm much more apt to be the second, if I have multiple partners. Master Fire

toservez -> RE: compromise (4/4/2007 8:30:54 AM)
It is about what prices are you willing to pay and understanding what you want, need and settle for. People in general who rarely compromise are in general are often going to have more accomplishments then others but will also have fewer friends and colleagues as failure to compromise often means running over others. Higher peaks, yes but they typically also have lower valleys. In this life in specific not compromising might mean more lonely nights whether you are dominant or submissive. Compromise often begins when a goal of someone’s becomes unattainable by the means or ability of that person and they go to plan B. Compromise ends when they accept something as that will work or will make me happy enough. Victim begins when you slide downward from that by force of another person.

Should you compromise at all? the only times this slave was in a relationship where compromise, or settling, was perceived by either party, the relationship ultimately failed. it isn't important to this slave to be in the "right", to negotiate compromise, or to have Master comply with any preferences this slave has, whether it be the wearing of a seat belt, the duration of a flogging, political party affiliation or _________________(fill in the blank). this slave's personal preferences aren't imposed on Him, through demand, limit or "compromise".

If you have to work out thing in the begining isnt that compromising?

When I first got together with Master, he was very specific in what he wanted in a relationship. He told me straight out that this was how it was and he would not waver, bend, break, or change in any way, shape or form. I thought over what he had said for many months before contacting him again and telling him that I was ready to accept his offer and that in doing so, I accepted his terms. Never once in 4 years has he changed a single thing from the very beginning. Never have I tried to convince him that my way might have been better. In the end, it has worked out better for the two of us because I have learned a GREAT deal from him and his way of doing things. I wish you well melissa

Hope that helps to clear things up!

He is who he is, and I could bend to meet him there or not. I don't feel that anything I have done along the way has been a compromise though. Submitting to him is just that, and I am happy to meet his requirements. I do not believe he has compromised for me, either, although I have never asked him if he felt he had. In another post I said he did, because I was thinking of ways in which he held off or slowed my development in various areas until he felt I was ready for it. I thought that was compromising his wants for the bigger picture. But as someone recently pointed out, that was merely reprioritizing. He didn't give anything up, in fact now he has exactly what he wanted. One of the things I have always loved about him is his consistency and that he DIDN'T compromise who he is to get what he wants. I came to rely on that, and appreciate that.

SimplyMichael -> RE: compromise (4/4/2007 1:14:12 PM)
If you never comprimise, you have comprimised anyway because you traded time for the hope of getting what you want.

ownedgirlie -> RE: compromise (4/4/2007 2:49:43 PM)
Unless you actually get what you want by not compromising. Compromising is an agreement reached by two/more people. A settling of differences. If one says he will not change his philosophies, principles, desires, or overall goal, he is not compromising. He may adjust the means in which to get there. If time was never a concern, then time has not been compromised. If I'm willing to wait 10 years for XYZ to happen, even though it would be really cool if it happened now, I have compromised nothing if it happens in 5 years. It's an interesting concept, though. Worth chewing on...

SimplyMichael -> RE: compromise (4/4/2007 5:55:51 PM)
Girly, That is the definition of comprimise. You didn't comprimise on what you wanted but you did comprimise by choosing not to have a partner.

ownedgirlie -> RE: compromise (4/4/2007 9:13:19 PM)
Michael, maybe it's because I'm nursing a flu here but I'm confused. I compromised on not having a partner? In my example, I was using "I" while thinking of my Master. There are things he wanted from me but he wasn't concerned about when it happened, so long as we eventually got there. I still belong to him all the while. So if we got there in 5 years rather than 10, he still got what he wanted without compromising. We are still paired, and neither of us chose not to have a partner. In my example, I wasn't referring to being with someone or not being with someone. I was referring to reaching a particular point in the relationship. I'm not trying to argue compromise vs. not compromising; it's an interesting concept to consider. I just don't see him as a compromising sort, although it may just be that I don't see his perspective.
