Compromising Effects
Compromising is very difficult. The reason I say this is because those involved each want their own way. The last argument I had was with my ex husband. We both wanted full custody of our child and the rights to the property. I was willing to compromise all entitlement to the property for full custody of my child. He wanted ne to compromise my rights to the property and custody of our child. That was not a good deal in my eyes. Therefore, it became a very uncompromising situation. Although, I have learned to take the positive approach to communication. I don't think it deems effective when the other person involved lacks the same effective communication skills.

I agree with you, it is very difficult sometimes to compromise with people when they are not willing to compromise. I am in a situation at work where I have tried to compromise with the teacher I share my classroom with, and it is very difficult because she is not willing. I have just decided at some point to let it go, because I don't need the added stress...
ReplyDeleteThis is disheartening because of all the emotions involve. I know that this is difficult for you and through this traumatic experience you are learning a valuable lesson. No matter how much you attempted to communication and resolve conflicts effectively it is not guarantee that the of person will be willing to compromise. You can only control you and cannot control the true motive of others. This conflict feels like a power struggle cupeled with the fear of losing control. Sometimes there are underlying elements that affect the ability to reach a compromise. I wish you the best of luck and hope that there will be away that you both are able to regain that since of power in you lives again.
