Compromise, change, and who's being selfish | Bros Roundtable Podcast
Is it possible to really compromise in a relationship, or is "compromise" just code for "change"? The Bros discuss the compromise versus change question, how (and when) to set expectations, and whether you can tell if someone is being selfish in this episode of the Bros Roundtable.

“the way that has to go, if you’re in my view, is that, it’s like, the kind of thing that you don’t do until, like, like, it’s not something that you do and, she’s like, ‘don’t do that.’” — Gary Supermacho, via podcast.

first off: your laugh cracks me up! Secondly: why do guys think compromise means change??? My perfect compromise (in my mind anyways): don’t smoke pot around me. He still got to smoke pot…I still got to live in my made up world that he didn’t! But no, apparently that was change I was requesting.

I don’t really understand the “compromise”=”change” thing, either. I want to ask the Bros more about that. It’s funny because so many of my girl friends have had the experience of compromising too much in relationships and losing themselves a bit. I’m wondering where the right middle ground is. Or maybe the Bros have had that experience too, and they’re putting their feet down.
BTW, during the set break at one of my band’s shows, some dude was telling me how much he liked the show. Then he said, “Your laugh has got to go.” I guess my laugh is like cilantro: you either love it or hate it.
Mort, I loved that line, too. Inscrutable yet insightful.

You’re right…your laugh is very…striking. =D
