...I'm still not sure that I understand why this is though. We are making the changes that they asked us to make because we love them and want them to be happy. Why is that a bad thing?
It is a bad thing because you are changing for someone else and not for you.
It is a bad thing because happiness comes from inside not outside. The only person you can make happy is yourself.
It is a bad thing because you are attempting to manipulate someone else.
