It is one thing to be open to other things and willing to compromise, Moonchild. It is another thing entirely to give up just about everything you want to please someone else and to keep the peace. Are you on the verge of that now? You may not have noticed, since a process has crept forward at such an incremental pace that you didn't realize just how much you are about to give away. Take some time to reassess what you're doing and what you might be about to agree to. You can do better.
