The psychologist revealed which compromises destroy relationships: when concessions become dangerous.

Many people believe that without compromises it is impossible to have healthy and happy relationships.

Psychologists indeed confirm this opinion, but it is important to understand which concessions are acceptable and which will destroy you and your relationships.

Life coach Vitaliy Kursik shares this in a comment to RBK-Ukraine.

Which compromises will save relationships

The expert notes that a compromise is an agreement when both partners give something up for a common goal.

Some compromises can be beneficial and help the relationship. For instance, this might include moving to a new city, dividing responsibilities, or agreeing on time for each partner's personal space.

Which compromises threaten relationships

Sometimes one partner may agree to a compromise that contradicts their values, which can lead to the destruction of the relationship.

The expert warns about several myths regarding compromises that should not be believed, for example, if you love someone, you should give up everything, one person must be wiser, peace is more important than being right, or it is normal if someone always sacrifices.

In practice, such 'concessions' can only harm a person emotionally and lead to the deterioration of relations. Such a partner risks losing themselves.
