Would you Change for someone?

The thing is, especially in long term relationships... people tend to change on their own over the years anyways. Might as well make it look like their idea and earn some brownie points haha.

For instance, I no longer drink every day because my bf asked me to cut down. And I gotta say even though I bitched up a storm because I was an alcoholic when we met, I'm thankful, and he thinks I made some huge sacrifice.

That's good. If the person wants you to change for the better, than that's fine. Long as they don't demand you to get up off your damn ass and go to therapy 'cause that's just being an dick. But it's a good thing if they want to change you because they genuinely care and aren't just trying to mold you the way they want.

Not sure I agree with the phrasing lol but just look at ppl unwilling to compromise... lack of relationships or unhealthy ones. Happens all the time. Just cones with bein selfish

I guess that could be pretty damn subjective though, eh?

If I met the right person, yeah I'd like to think that I would change a little or want to change.

There's a different implication when it comes to "changing" vs "bettering yourself." I was under the impression op intended to discuss the former.

I can dig that. I'm all for self improvement. I feel like I was a better person when I was younger. But there's always time to better yourself.

I'd change if I believed it was a change for the better, a change that improved my life. Otherwise, no.
