Well relationships all require compromises.
So, I'd be willing to bet that SOMETIMES you agree to plans that aren't your first-choice of what YOU would like to do because you know it's something that HE really wants to do. That's exactly as it should be SOMETIMES.
And it should be a give-and-take. So yes, it is absolutely fair for you to expect him to make some compromises as well. It's fine if SOMETIMES he agrees to do something that YOU really want to do, even if he'll be "bored" or doesn't really want to do whatever.
That's definitely how any relationship has to work. Or the relationship won't work.
It's a matter of balance. MOST of the time a couple should do things they both really want to do. But each person should totally be willing to sacrifice and do something they wouldn't choose because they know it's going to make their parter really happy.
Several of my ex girlfriends were serious "dancers". Like they had dance-classes 6-days-a-week and dance was something that was SUPER important to them. A giant part of their lives.
I fucking HATE dance. I always have. I don't "get it" it doesn't "speak to me" and I really do not enjoy watching dace.
Do you have any idea how many goddamn dance competitions I sat through? A freaking lot.
And... I wouldn't have even THOUGHT about not being there. It was super important to my girl. I sat through that shit with a smile. As you do.
Sounds like you're right.

Yeah and hard ones too IF the partner had a heart for the other person. YOur instincts are right as it relates to serious emotional commitment, therefore, it is likely that the emotionalism and adjoining physicality are being experienced elsewhere.

No one needs to change for you so if they aren't get the message to leave or stay with the person because you like them and that thing don't really matter anyway. The choice is yours.
