Yea, some I know used to be mean but ever since they fell for someone, they became nice and more like ladies and gentlemen.

We are creatures of habit and will basically be the way we are. Sometimes we would hope to try and "change" for the people we love, but easily slip back in to our normal selves.

This is a big mistake many people, especially women, make. It's been my experience that many women view men as a pile of lumber, with which to construct the perfect husband. That way lies madness! People rarely change and character, I believe, is determined at conception.

Not over the long run, women have been trying to do that for years modifying the "bad boy" a quick temporary fix yes long haul term not so much. It's like wanting a car you bought to be different a month after you get it home it doesn't work.

A person may temporarily modify their behavior, but they do not change. You are who you are. Doing things differently to please another person doesn't change that.

Hopefully it's for growth together. One will truly change only because they want the change though. Relationships have to have compromises. I am not sure how rigid people ever have relationships.

Compromising and change are two very different things.

Compromising and forming new habits lead to change.

reply
Carol to ambates 2012/06/10 01:26:24

Again, compromise and change are two completely different things. I compromise with my husband all the time, but it doesn't change me.
Changing habits does not change you as a person...your personality, who you are at a core level.

HELL NO! If you feel the need to change for someone to like you or love you, then obviously it's either A: Not real love cause he/she doesn't love you for YOU or B: You're afraid he/she is not going to love the real you so you change for them to like you. Love is love, and you're partner can't love you for YOU then you honestly have a problem right there.

It is possible, but it is more important to change for yourself first. We all change as life proceeds but if are a work in progress like most of us. you need to change for what you personally think will make you a better person. Love is wonderful but it can also be lost so what you build of yourself is the main ingredients of your future.

It takes more than love to change a person, that person has to also be willing to change for themselves as well, women who take physical abuse say things like that and it has gotten them nowhere but beated to a pulp or in an early grave. I am not gonna waste my time with a schmuck who can't get his act together anyway, his parents have failed him, not me!!!

I don't think anyone should change for anyone else. Just be who you are.... it's won't work if you try to change to be someone you're not....in my opinion. I have always just been myself when I am someone I love. I don't know how to be anyone else.

well sorry if you think that way, honestly I never loved anyone that much for me to change who I am. Because when I'm in a relationship I never asked them to change for me, you know acceptance and all.

I think you are confused because you stated if you love someone you would be willing to change for them; why change if you are gonna go back to your normal self? I would NEVER change who I am no matter how much I loved them, I am not that screwed up. If anything the change shoud be for the better and heartfelt, not something you return to doing after that oerson is out of your life forever. So therefore that person is fake and their changing was not out of love but out of necesscity!!!

SA to Miko Mi... 2012/06/09 21:23:40
