On a scale of 1 to 10, how likely are you to compromise on your long-term goals for the sake of your relationship?

Very unlikely.

In the distant past, I did that, thinking it would be appreciated. It was not, and instead, it made me look weak, which meant I was even less respected and appreciated. Unfortunately, I had no one to teach me relationship dynamics (this was pre-Internet) and I had to read books and talk to lots of people to try to figure out what went wrong. Even after years of this, and having figured out big pieces of the puzzle, I still didn't have a totally clear picture.

Now, this kind of information is much easier to come by, and I now understand that my girl is far more likely to respect me if I say "no" (with a good reason) than if I just fold and say "okay." And it's far likelier to put me in a better long-term position that's better for her too.

That really depends on the compromise...
