What is the biggest compromise you have done?

Day 27

In an argument between couples, the commonly found debatable topic is compromise. A loosing argument can be completely turned around by the topic of compromise. The attempt is to make the other person feel guilty and quite for a favorable result of argument. I guess the concept of "Love and War" applies where everything is considered fair.

So here is my question: What is the biggest compromise you have done?

According to the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language (2010) compromised can be defined as "A settlement of differences in which each side makes concessions." Look careful at the definition of compromise, both parties makes concessions.

So when debating the topic of compromise, why is the concession of the other person becomes silent or irrelevant? What is the actual purpose of making an compromise? Does the purpose of compromise mean it can re-verbalized at a latter time? Isn't the purpose of a compromise mean, we  have achieved  understanding terms? Isn't is better to ignore the topics that caused friction previously in a present argument?

We compromise and adjust on daily basis that includes family, friends, work, and just plain life. We made that compromise because we care about our self and the other person. The proportion of care between self and other person could vary, for example a mother will compromise something for a new born baby, a compromise in a business partnership, compromise of couples, a compromise on what to do on a Saturday evening and many more similar events.

"We compromise as a selfless act because we care about "I and You" and not to win an argument debate."
