I've seen a few triggered comments because this ideal is so deeply imbedded in society. Compromise is the enemy of compatibility. It's like when you're dehydrated and you drink soda instead of water. Yeah, it's liquid but you'll still end up thirsty. Love has been this self sacrifical ideal for centuries, and it can turn relationships into an ecosystem of resentment, keeping score, settling, and losing your own sense of autonomy if/when it ends. Some people stay in incompatible relationships because they don't want to be alone, think they won't find someone else, refuse to change, or use the other person as an excuse to not go after what they want. Love itself is not painful; Putting someone elses needs above your own is. This video was spot on. Thank you for always speaking the truth, even if it ruffles a few feathers because it refutes the societal norm.

This is not what she is saying. Compatibility is not about matching every step each one makes every day or every little view or decision. Do we order Chinese or cook? This is a poor understanding of her excellent point. Even the Bible talks about compatibility: Do not be unequally yoked. Compatibility means equal yoke and ilk.

Obviously there cannot be 100% compatibility in any relationship for every single thing, but I believe she is talking about the larger more important things that generally come into play for every relationship

Teal, I love how you deliver your messages. - No bullshiz - straight to the point

This feels it could be used as a tool for justification of selfish or inconsiderate behavior... imho some compromise can be mutually beneficial and nurture congruent growth in the relationship. A lack of flexibility can only lead to an inevitable difference of opinion and parting of ways. Having compassion and understanding of your partners needs while expressing your own can facilitate an adaptable foundation to build upon. Perhaps I'm taking this advice too literally 🤔

@mikkovaan8636

I think Teal did say (at least somewhere), that trying to heal your partner so that the relationship would work better, is not the way to go, because according to her you should take the partner as is and if that doesn't work, just forget it. That's the message I got from her at least, and I can see the value in that. Why? Because we've all born with certain inherent problems, our destinies somewhat pre-written but not wholly I think.That of course goes for our relationships too. Some of us will be more jealous, some of us more free-going and liberal in love, some a mixed bag... some are born with more potential for self-centeredness in relationships, than others. And so on. To evolve from a jealous person to someone who's not so much so... well, I don't know, but I think it's a great undertaking, something one should definitely not underestimate. You can't change traits like that based on a whim. That why Teal has a great point there. But is she absolutely right with no room whatsoever for deviation? I think not.

@mikkovaan8636

@TruthSeeking Endless Well... thank you for the thoughtful reply. I think that to consider compromise invalid, you'd need to realize an alternative or opposite or both, for it. Which in my view would be some kind of... mutual understanding is a good way to put it as you do, I think. However I'd use something like "innovative new ground on an old problem", because as Einstein said, you can't fix the problem with the same head that caused it. My view is... holistic, you could say... because I think it's wiser to consider EVERYTHING and Choose Consciously, rather than to adhere blindly, rigidly and fanatically to certain rulesets. I can deviate, and will. I can "fight fate". But even so... I see the inherent value in what Teal said about compromise not being the ideal solution. I think that a lot of what you talk about in your reply to mine, is about roles. What Teal said about those in another video, if I recall right and I think I do, is that it's better to define clear roles of who does what, and even if you can be flexible about those roles, it's best that the roles are clear. I've found this to work in my experience. It's very much a mutual agreement instead of one party just mowing down the other or playing mind games with the other. For example, I agree with my partner that she is the provider and I am the protector. She is mostly the receiving one and I am the giving one. And we kind of take turns on who talks and who listens, instead of a cacophonic mess of both partners trying to talk over each other or awkwardly wait for the other to talk and nothing happens. Compromise on both talking and listening at the same time would be a disaster, nerve-wrecking for most people at least, I think. To me, in cases like these, compromise is a band-aid. It can stop the bleeding until your body figures out how to close the wound on its own, but it sure as hell won't close the wound for good if you keep it there without taking care that you have appropriate lifestyle (diet, recovery, exercise, cleanliness, genetically familiar environment...). So to your original question: "Do you end the relationship at the first sign of incompatibility? I say no. I say no compromise either if you can in appropriate time frame come to a solution that pleases both parties properly, regarding the problem. It may involve healing and shadow work and trying to become more authentic to the core being of you... and contrary to what Teal said, I think that's okay as long as you BOTH are willing to do YOUR PART for any given problem that would be considered a "deal-breaker" in Teal's world. And go through with it. I have heard of people walking on fiery coals. I have heard of people who walk after below-head paralysis due to severe accident. I have heard of guys who sit on icy water for 2-3 hours straight and come out like nothing. We can do all these amazing things, but our minds and hearts would be rigid and weak? I do not buy that.

This is why there's so much anti-romanticist sentiment out there.

Compromise is sacrificing your personality and your passions to make your partner comfortable and fit in. If we have to do that, the relationship is not compatible and likely both partners still struggle with childhood adaptive mechanisms, where we were taught to share and hand over our toys when someone else wants them. In a true adult relationship, neither partner expects the other to bend to their will. Instead, we celebrate each other’s personalities, likes and passions and we allow each other to further develop in our own ways. We are after all, still individuals.

I had a potential partner that actually guilt tripped me for refusing to compromise on something. I take it that is a red flag and now I’m in no contact and focusing on my myself, my healing, and my well being. I’m starting to think that I perhaps have dodged a bullet.

I think you can overcome this by having 3 or 4 extremely important things to you that you don't compromise on instead of making everything equally important.

I believe we can simply compromise in this way: it's harmful ONLY when it has to do with sacrificing a couple's "deal breakers" or top priorities, but not when it comes to maintaining compatibility or shared priorities. For example, if both partners value raising children as well as always doing what they love in their free time, but the first is a higher priority than the second, then the couple can easily compromise how each gets to spend their free time because they both are working towards their common goal and priority: caring for their children. Compromising how they spend some of their free time is not some unhealthy sacrifice arising from dysfunctional dynamics. In this sense, compromise is not only healthy but necessary for the relationship and their pursuit of shared goals.

Maybe the secret to lasting relationships is that people who don't see everything as winning or losing have a healthy attitude toward dealing with inevitable changes.

When you settle, your happiness is at stake. When you compromise, you are choosing to tolerate certain things to achieve and maintain a beneficial outcome. Settling is making do with less. Compromising is accepting less of one thing in return for more of another. theirs nothing wrong with compromising.. the real enemy is making excuses to continue being stubborn, selfish, or “single” minded…

I recently left my boyfriend because he was not prioritising my needs and not opening up his feelings. I wish I had communicated better with him. I learnt, if I had excepted him as he was and loved him more unconditionally, then maybe he would have felt less judged and safer to open up and speak his feelings to me. I know he still loves me. This Friday he is visiting me after 9 months apart!!

I prime myself to expect that any "good feeling relationship" could end fast. I prepare myself not to settle nor go along with what others want whilst my needs go unmet. No good can come from associating with a dishonest person.

Sometimes giving in to someone else’s will is a good deal. It’s just not supposed to be an everyday event for all. But for some I think pain and self sacrifice is what they love.

My parents and their friends said exactly that to me, that a marriage is all about compromise. I disagreed. Ive been married 13 years and I cant think of anything Ive compromised on.

After listening to a lot of people complain about modern day marriages and how there should always be struggle in relationships, I'm more than grateful that you've touched on this topic.

@@Pres9did you miss the part of “compatibility”?. I’ve seen all your other comments about compromise and settling. One problem is when people don’t choose a truly compatible person to be with them. You have to be a fully formed person… know yourself and what you want. Then you find another fully formed person who is compatible with you. If your boyfriend loves videogames and you hate the fact that he plays them… maybe don’t date a guy who plays video games because now he’ll have to “compromise”/sacrifice this thing he loves for YOU and eventually he’ll ask something of YOU that YOU will have to sacrifice for him. When you find a truly compatible person; there will be no need to compromise on things because you’ll both be on the same page. I hope it’s clear that we’re talking about big/important things about ourselves and not things like “what to eat” or “what to watch”.

Guys, Inayah said that she was done with relationships because in every past relationship she would have to do it all. I see her point. It is better to do it all being single, than do it all while in a realtionship. It is frustrating to see that the partner is not helping. Why live with that frustration?! Because there has to be a compensation from being with someone? There may be, but is it worth the frustration? You are telling her to find someone who will help her. Well, she said she is tired of looking for that man.

Perfect description of my last relationship. Broke up a few weeks ago and this video reminded me why (I kept forgetting). Lots of resentment, pain, internal wars... there I have it. Thank you for giving me one more piece to this puzzle. I'm going to be who I am, and the right fit for a new relationship will come along at the perfect time. 🙏🏼

Insanely exclusionist framework immediately made me wonder if that person has been/ stayed in relationships for a long time

Without a doubt, this is one of the truest tropics ever identified. Thank you so much Teal for the insight and clarity you’ve brought to this. We have woven such a sinister web in the name of Love, and this sheds light on perhaps the most misunderstood aspect of relationships. We’ll done!! And thank you!

Incase You'd Rather Read About It Instead: tealswan.com/resources/articles/compromise/

There were 222 comments here when I clicked!! There's a reason this video popped up in my feed. I've going through this type situation as I speak. I'm always compromising and it's never enough. I'm done. Like you said, it's a recipe for disaster and you will never live up to it.

„When other people compromise for us, we’re not actually being loved.“ That. I just had an enlightment 💡 That is what I’ve been afraid of in relationships. That they‘ll compromise, and I wouldn’t as much, and they’d hold it against me, telling me I’m stubborn and selfish. I‘m not willing to compromise that much… I didn’t like when they made big compromises. I couldn’t say with confidence why, because it is seen as such a selfless good thing. But it wouldn’t make us happy. I‘m glad that I am aware of this now, I can put it in words! Thank you, Teal 🥺💜

THANK YOU with capital letters! I've been trying to translate this point of view for a long time. I have a relatively large tiktok audience of around 140k subs and you have no idea how hard it is to convince people that compromise in a relationship is NOT a good thing at all. I am really happy to see that this POV is finally starting to be heard from other people with considerable audiences. Thank you once agan, Teal.

Compromise is just the beginning & small part of what true marriage is and when I say marriage I mean one like the ancestors of Miss Teal's had in order for her to be created. What a blessing! Ancient wisdom teaches us that the relationship of marriage is actually a refinement of character and the wholesomeness of that comes about with the longevity of the relationship. When we yield we're not yielding to the other person we're "yielding to the obligatory"

I totally agree Teal. I appreciate how you mentioned that you must be 'hard and fast' to set boundaries in connections. ♡ You must always be your own best friend within your life. You have gotta be your most highest in consciousness version. I have destroyed my perception of myself and lowered my own vibrations to a harmful extent to realise what it means to be loved. X

This is the first video I have ever commented on on KZread (from what I can recall, anyway!) and it is the most MIND BLOWING video I have ever seen in my life as it encapsulates so much of my present and ongoing struggle. Thank you for articulating this complex and nuanced subject so clearly and helping me make sense of my lived experience and relationships. I will be watching this many more times and all the suggested videos.

Compromising should not be painful. Meeting In the middle and getting on the same page can be very rewarding and make you feel closer. I just want to be truly objective here. Always question why someone is giving a message.

Thank you so much for this ❤️💜💚 jeez! So much unlearning to do, it’s overwhelming and I feel anger thinking about all the times I’ve compromised believing I should be rewarded or believing this is what should happen in order to have healthy relationships 😭😭😭😭

Perfect timing for this. Unfortunately we are seeing this play out on a larger global scale, especially in industries such politics and healthcare. Lots of emotional manipulation going on there...

No wonder my mother was always resentful...she had to compromise everything to my father. And he was just a taker and gave you nothing in return.

Amazing! Teal is the best! Always!

I do not agree this time with Teal, commitment and obligation are not the same, a commitment is freely assumed, one knows the rules beforehand, an obligation is something to which one is "forced" without being able to do anything about it. I believe that a good relationship is based on commitment, the freely assumed commitment to first respect one's own wishes and aspirations, as well as, to do the same for the couple. This is by no means an obligation. Paternity / Maternity falls into this category, we choose to have children, animals, a job. We assume the responsibilities that accompany that decision. Without responsibility, everything is chaos. If everything is an obligation, the same thing happens. Love is not a responsibility, it is a decision that entails responsibility, first of all with oneself and from then on with others.

Lol who cares take risks guys!! Life is a journey of learning and when you know you have no real experience with relationships just throw yourself into it completely. Always doubt everything you hear about relationships my dear ones. No one has the answers but you, only really brave ones can enter into relationships and make it great. Because intimacy in relationship takes great courage, it’s unknown, a great mystery. One of J Krishnamurti’s quote that really relates to this is, “If we understand the problem, the answer will come out of it, because the answer is not separate from the problem.” And the truth is life is not a problem, it’s a rejoicing of souls and if you know that, you’ll be rejoicing with the soul of the other.

Thank you for this video. I've always had the feeling that what you said was a truth I couldn't and can't unsee. I'm glad to hear those words so precisely and to be reassured that by not giving in, by not compromising I've made the right choice to preserve my integrity. I love your videos and this feeling of calmness that comes with grasping this truth and letting go of resentment that comes from misunderstanding about the Self and the other. Be blessed. 🙏🏻🌱✨

I feel like this is the obvious truth and yet I've never seen people come to this conclusion in dating advice, etc. They teach you to play games and be inauthentic, and think nothing of it. I'm glad someone's saying it.

I really appreciate relationship videos! 😍

compatibility does NOT exist without compromises or live 60 years or so to find that compatible partner. It all comes down to one thing: how you deal with compromises? Out of love? If so you will be happy because your partner is happy and this means the world to you. But if you are doing it out of manipulation you are for sure not happy and neither him when he finds out you were basically lying.

I love this it’s not easy to break habits that we’ve had embedded into us since birth but in order to love ourselves we must set boundaries and not compromise this is such an eye opening video I’ve always knew that compromise didn’t feel right but I’ve always thought I had to in order to make relationships work but this breaks it down so well thank you so much!

This is a brilliant video & subject ; really needed to hear this. Thank you, Teal. And I had this gut feeling already for a while that if you (think that you) need to force someone to love you, be it through manipulation, compromise, passive agressiveness, blackmail, fear-spreading, projection, dependency/attachment, etc, than that is not love, not from you, nor will the love you receive actually be love from the other person : it might actually more be a fear of hurting you and of being hurt themselves, than truly being love and choosing to be together out of free and compatible will. It's as you said that compromise is not love, and to have someone compromise for you is not to be/feel loved by that person (as they have to sacrifice part of their being for that, which feels really sad, before you know it you're more grieving than anything else). Also love what you said on co-dependence being covert narcissism in a way. Blew my mind and clicked / resonated about myself and other people too, how the line between narcissism and co-dependence can be so thin, and maybe because there isn't really a line aside from the way of interacting (overt or covert).

Thank you for the break down

I'll know I'm compatible with a person if they resonate with Teal Swan's wisdom. Old school psychological practices and theories need to take a back seat to her uncanny knowledge and insight. In less than a year, anyone who is serious about understanding and healing their shadows and various dynamics in their relationships needs only the desire to learn and binge on Teal's generous vid offerings. If one is able, to have support inside one of her group programs is highly advisable. Psychotherapy, self-examination, living in the truth no matter how much it hurts, and keeping my head clean of stuffed emotions or denial did serve me well and left many shadows hidden. Love to you, Teal Swan! Wow! Insight and Wisdom far beyond your years.

Everyone should watch this! I came to this conclusion a while back and it's hard to explain to others. I am keeping this vid in a playlist, it's far too important! Thank you!

Teal, I think you forgot to consider the fact that "Win-Win" is another form of compromise. Also, you talk a lot about Narcissism for someone who thinks they're always right.

So let’s just say that Compatibility is a Myth🙄 Because the only time I do not compromise is when I am with myself. And that is a very rare occasion. Well someone said, Spirituality and Relationships are not compatible 🤪 As difficult and wounded humans are these days, I do not think a relationship with someone else or a group of people not only in romantic scenarios but also in working relationships and families without compromising is something that can actually be achieved.

Do not compromise on who you are, on what you feel and love. Compromise can be made and must be made in many other aspects of life all the time (salary negotiations with your boss). For example: You love star wars and your partner hates star wars. Your partner loves horror movies and you hate horror movies. You both love romantic comedies. A compromise would be to watch a star wars movie and a horror movie together. Nobody will enjoy it, because you cannot enjoy yourself while your partner is having a bad time if you have a good relationship. A win win situation could be if you let the other be who he is and enjoy his movie with his movie-compatible-friends and be happy for the other enjoying himself and you only watch romantic comedies together. Compatibility would be the best of course and would be where you both enjoy the same things as much as possible. 100% compatibility doesn't happen often, but the greater the compatibility, the happier the foundation of your relationship because you can enjoy many things together.

Typical black-and-white thinking. I too thought this way. "there's always compromise involved" vs "there's never compromise". "Compromise to get into relationship" vs "stay single". There's a lot of grey. And maybe you should explore it. What Teal Swan is pointing to is to give up your own *happiness* to keep the relationship going. That is surely not sustainable. Been there, done that, seen it a million times. It only brings resentment and pain. There should be authenticity - which means, you are your true self and so is your partner. The space they hold for you is safe for u to be u, fully. If there are things that make you unhappy, you're able to talk about it, come up with a mutual solution. And be guilt-free, content & happy. Compatibility doesn't mean you are each other's clones.

Awesomeeeee. So brave to hold on to this. I needed this soooo much.!!

I just can’t wrap my head around this. I need to sit on this more. It’s really bowing my mind.

Men and women are different, look different, think different, feel different, there will be always some sort compromise in a relationship, so, if you're really into being your truest self, don't get one.

Is there really someone that we are "compatible" enough to the point no side needs to compromise ? Is there really a partner where we can 100% accept all their flaws n not expect them to compromise (expect them to change their behavior or decision),, vice versa (someone not expecting something that they want us to change)..

I agree with all the Teal Swan said, but I don't think anyone is 100% compatible with you. Some couples are more compatible than others, and you have to discern what percentage of compatibility you are willing to settle for, vs. how long you're willing to wait for a partner and be your own support system in the meantime.
