[quote=Anonymous]what are examples of husband making (real) compromises - think things that you really care about that they view differently, not going out to eat Thai when he prefers Chinese or loading the dishwasher in the evening whereas he really prefers in the morning? My DH stopped wanting to make any compromises almost at all - and he tells me that he should not make any compromises, if I don't like what he proposes, it just means that we are incompatible and there's no one holding me back from leaving if I don't like what he does. We have a toddler so while in theory he's absolutely right (it's a free country and I make my own money), I am shocked that he is so nonchalant about this. Basically whatever I ask that is more significant that he does not agree with, he tells me that. And conversely, he springs stuff on me that I tell him I don't agree with, makes me uncomfortable, don't want and his response, clearly we're incompatible, we should just part ways. Through this strategy he basically gets almost everything that he wants, with slight dents to his desires I guess where I find creative ways to negotiate, maneuver my words and how I frame / ask for things / argument, etc just as if I'm doing stakeholder management at work. There's a strong change he does not care anymore I guess, otherwise, surely there must be examples of husbands too who make meaningful compromises for their wives no and don't immediately demand divorce if the wife does not comply?
