I know it's a small thing but it's still a compromise. Luke@Racketboy doesn't care about what he watches or eats so it doesn't matter to him. I guess I'm not as carefree as him. If I'm with a friend or someone I'm dating, I don't have to make any compromises if I don't want to. But if you are in a serious relationship, it's more difficult.
Not true, actually. I have owned an independent catering company for almost a decade. I usually cook seven days a week, so what I eat is very important to me. My wife is not a good cook. She's coming along, but I've been cooking at least 5 nights a week for almost 15 years. I hate doing the dishes though. So, we compliment each other, I cook, she does the dishes. It's win win. No compromising, just complimenting.
I'm also a sports nut. I start my day at 6am with sportscenter, check espn.com frequently during the work day, and at 5pm, it's Around the horn, then PTI. If my wife is watching something I don't want to, I simply just go to my man cave and watch what I would like. It's not really a compromise. If she doesn't want to watch the game, she goes in the living room. There's no pressure on either one of us to watch the same shows at the same time. It's part of the reason we own 5 televisions.
You compromise when you date the wrong person.
