Would you compromise your happiness for the success of a relationship?

[Nayrr]

[Clo917]

Well, you do have to make sacrifices in relationships and that could cause short periods of unhappiness, but so long as the happiness returns, I would. If we're talking compromise lasting happiness, probably not. I mean, I think relationships should generally make you happier and if you're compromising on your happiness long term, like years, just so it's successful, why are you with that person?

[StingRayxoxo]

I think that in itself is not a successful relationship though.

[sageweirdo]

Depends on how long you're compromising your happiness. Is it short term, like a month, a week, or and afternoon. Or is it more like the next few years. And how much do you love this person, are you going to be married. The truth is that relationships are all about compromise and you have to determine what that means to you.

[jgokgotit]

Not completely, but I would compromise some things. If I had to totally give up my happiness that means something is wrong with the relationship. Also it would eventually lead to resentment and strife between us down the road.

[PrincessGrail]

Maybe. Depends on circumstances.

[LMNOP123]

If you have to trade your happiness for a “successful” relationship then it’s not really successful at all. Happiness on both ends equal a successful relationship. It’s legitimately impossible to have one without the other.
It’s like wanting to make an omelette with no eggs.

[GiveitaShance]

No. A relationship should be where you are both happy otherwise its oretty pointless. Yes, there are sacrifices both partners have to make. Yes, tyere will be arguements between you two but in the end you are happy together. If you aren't happy in the relationship its time to break it off.

My happiness should be for the success of the relationship and the happiness of the person I am with. Dating is not about me or all about me.

[menina]

Absolutely not! Relationships come and go, my life doesn't. I just have one chance and I must do everything that makes me happy.
Compromise my happiness and my entire life for someone else would be an huge mistake!

[CreativeMumble]

No, I wouldn't.
If I wasn't happy, then the relationship wouldn't be good either.

It's not worth being in a relationship if you aren't happy. (if the relationship is the problem that is)

[Lliam]

That sounds like a contradiction. How would success in a healthy relationship compromise your happiness? Wouldn't success in a relationship be the happiest thing ever?

[jenkys24]

Not in a million years the relationship is supposed to bring you happiness if that's not the case abort ship, and don't be mistaken we humans aren't hardwired to fell happy or sad at all times it's just that way, because never would be too little and always would be too much just some times, it's Moore about feeling fulfilment and content with your relationship, it's simple

[TonyBologna25]

Depends. Every relationship will go through periods in which you're unhappy. It's only natural. It's it's a permanent thing, then no. But I'm not going to just give up the moment our relationship is tested like a lot of people do.

[naijagurl]

Maybe in the short term but not indefinitely. To me a relationship isn’t successful unless we’re both happy overall.

[NineBreaker]

It really depends on the specific situation. Sometimes, happiness takes the backseat, and the focus should be on one's sense of duty.

[BestUserName100]

Sure except maybe not if there is someone else you like and they don’t really have all that going on wouldn’t that make the decision pretty easy?

[Anonymous]

A relationship shouldn’t mean you sacrifice happiness. That’s not what it’s all about. If you’re not making each other happy more often than not, you shouldn’t be together.

[BrookieCookie0422]

Compromise is necessary for any healthy relationship, but if the relationship makes you unhappy... there’s a problem.

[JayN26]

Not compromise your happiness but compromise is a major factor in relationships and required to stay together longer term

[SexyAshh]

Hell no! I was engaged and would be married right now if i were to have done that

[LuWe22]

I don't understand. You both should be happy and that is a sucessful relationship. How could a relationship be sucessful when one or both are unhappy?

[Landshrk0068]

Never, how could it even be called a relationship if I give up my happiness?

[JamesBoradil03]

i would let some things go, but i would not be unhappy or miserable for the sake of a relationship.
