Poly, there are always answers. The fact that we don't understand them, does not diminish their impact. They just must be accepted. To do otherwise is to risk the loss of something, maybe something important. And you must remember that things not understood, today, become clearer with time. Acceptance, compromise, sacrifice, experience. Follow the road, open minded, and let it take you where it will.
Anon, yes. I have accepted what is. I will follow the road and see where it leads. To do otherwise, is folly.
Sometimes, we must accept that not everyone is open minded. Compromise and open mindedness can be different sides to the same coin. At one point, you pointed out that I don't compromise, and you were right. It may be the wrong view, but we are who we are. Shoud we have to change that for someone else? I spend most of my time diminishing who I am, because my personality is overbearing. The few who truely accept me for who I am, get the real me. Everyone else gets the watered down version, and I'm not about to do that for love. To do otherwise would be living a falsehood.
Poly, very few are as open minded as they claim. They not only compromise, they recreate themselves to satisfy someone else's image of themselves. They lie to themselves and they lie to others. Thus creating a lie they must live with. A lie that is often difficult, if not impossible, to maintain. You must always be true to yourself. You are who you are. If true love is to be found, then you must always be you. Do not create a false image of yourself. You won't like it and sooner than later neither will anyone else.
A true love will accept you. The real you. There can be no other way.
Exactly my point. I don't compromise. I keep my standards. For things like work, I subdue what I have to. As for love, one of the (many) reasons I stay single is I'm not about to compromise who I am. I accept me, my friends love me for who I am, and that's enough.

I have. Have you?

As it should be. Be you, be only you, and love will find you.
