Re: I feel like im being forced to change, what shall i do>?
Er, which century are we in? Women have died so that WE no longer have to be subjugated and yet here we are, again, women telling women to stay in time-ordained shackles.
A life of compromise isn't a life at all. If you want to spend FOREVER with this man, that is potentially the next 50-60 years of your life. Most mornings, most nights. You need to make him understand that you are his moral and intellectual equal and that as much as you need to "understand" and "respect" him, that street is two-way. Does he not think you capable of making your own choices?
Things like this transcend the pedestrian, the raise questions about his mentality - I think it's time you asked each other how much of yourselves you are willing to loose for the other person and whether that sacrifice in the name of a love that hasnt really seen the test of time is equal.
