Relationships can fail due to a lack of acceptance and compromise. For example, one partner may be unwilling to compromise on specific issues or insist on imposing their beliefs and practices on the other. This can lead to resentment and conflict, ultimately causing the relationship to break down. This requires sensitivity and restraint, which is true for wanting other people to change in any way. We believe we are doing it for their good, but when we try to control others, we let our disappointments be known when they do not measure up.
