Hi Rinse,

Sorry you found yourself here.....

I have a couple of questions. Firstly, what would you do if he didn't want to compromise? What if, for him, having pets is a complete no-no? Would you be able to change for him? If not, why would it be reasonable for him to change for you?

I don't think the reason is trivial at all....for men having their opinions and feelings respected is, I think, more important than the feeling of being loved. So for him, this is a huge thing, as I guess his actions show.....

This board is pretty quiet at the moment. You'll get a lot of feedback in Newcomers, which I think is busier, but keep posting here and I'm sure people will stop by and offer advice and opinions.
