Erg, that's a little too blunt and black/white.

Really what I'm supposed to do is try to negotiate differences, and carefully watch how the other person responds to that. Are they genuinely interested in how I feel, are they willing to try to meet my needs, or are they rigid, put my request down or belittle my concerns. Not necessarily the first time, but when a pattern becomes evident that they are not able to negotiate differences with me, it's time to move on.
