Hey everyone! I don't post on here super often, but I've been laid up for a week now and I'm going a little crazy. Total cabin fever.

I used to see forums like this on the internet back home, and I thought it might be kind of fun here too, so I thought I'd give it a try, because reading those forums was always a lot of fun.

So, Crowd-Sourced Relationship Advice!

I turned on anonymous posting on here, so you can make a fake username and submit a description of a problem that you're having in your relationships, either romantic or at work or whatever, and other anonymous people can give you advice!

Or you can stay logged in on your real account. Up to you!

We're not going to break up.
It's not something petty, but I doubt every couple in the world has agreed on how they want their lives to be

So there logically has to be a way to solve the problem.

One of you will be making a sacrifice, then, and whoever does make the sacrifice will probably end up bitter about it. Or come to realize they were wrong all along.

So how important is what you are standing for to you? More so than the person?

I guess that's the problem. If I knew the answer to that, the decision would be easier.

Even though the person might be more important to me, I don't think I can be happy giving up the life I want.

Maybe that makes me a selfish person.

Then maybe understand the relationship may not be viable.

You can either compromise and figure out what's important, or realize that your inability to cave means what you want is more important.

I think this person is the only one for me but
is it smart to give up what you want for love?

<anon>

[apt666]

I wouldn't. But my personal happiness isn't derived from others.

You must have had a pretty good life then.
Sometimes people are the only positive thing you have.
I don't know if that will change once I've achieved my goals.

[ It's so good this is anon text, because he made a very amused noise at the reply. ]

So you don't want to give up anything. The relationship. Your end goal that contradicts theirs. So, if that's the case, you're expecting them to give up for you.

You sound like a joy.
