Jaime Fisher argues against compromise in long-term relationships, suggesting it undermines individuals' ability to live authentically. Instead, she advocates for finding partners who share core values or who can thrive independently. Fisher shares examples of couples who maintain fulfilling relationships without cohabitation, emphasizing the diversity of relationship structures and encouraging couples to seek joy rather than feel constrained by the idea of compromise. Ultimately, she believes that partnerships should enhance individual fulfillment rather than necessitating sacrifices, challenging traditional notions of relational success.
I actually don't believe you should get into a long-term relationship where you're going to have to compromise a lot... Compromise just means neither person really gets to live into their values.
I think you should seek to be in relationships with people who you mostly overlap [with] on the strongest area of values... There are some people having really beautiful lives: really wonderful marriages or relationships that have a lot of separation.
