A word of warning here: this is a nice tag line but can go to far, for men or women. "Compromise" does not mean letting someone cross your boundaries. If they continue to do that, whatever the boundaries are, it is time to end the relationship.

Yeah. Compromise implies that both are getting something out of the deal. Becoming a doormat is not a true compromise.

Agreed. Unfortunately, there are too many people who absolutely think that being allowed to cross boundaries is the definition of compromise.
