What compromises do you make for the sake of marital/relationship harmony?

[bibbitybobbitysantahat]

I have been thinking about this as dh and I are going through one of our good phases lately (our marriage is very up and down) and I've come to realise that we both do some major compromising which allows us to tick along quite nicely at times. For instance,

I will sit and chat with him about nothing much when he gets in from work - he wants to do this, I don't!

I have started to return all his texts. He likes texting and used to get hurt when I didn't reply, even if a reply wasn't strictly necessary.

I have stopped nagging him about going to bed too late.

He tolerates my extreme untidyness and just quietly clears up after me.

He no longer sits and watches me cooking (I CANNOT STAND THIS - MOTHER AND OTHER RELATIVES PLEASE NOTE).

He lets it go that I have to have fresh water freshly boiled for every cup of tea.

I am feeling quite appreciative of him atm .

I am ok with him playing online games all evening because he makes sure it's not every evening and tells me in advance. I've given up trying to deal with the Sock Box Of Doom (long story) while he accepts that my "filing" has always been and will always remain stuffing it all in a magazine file. In fact, we actually don't agree on anything so our entire life is compromise, so I'll stop now!

Where to start!
He puts up with my incessant chat when he gets home from work and wants to fire gaze (ie watch tv) and he bites his tongue when I give a running commentary when he's driving.
I tolerate the weekly game of golf, the fact that he NEVER puts the bath mat back over the side of the bath, the way he puts his dirty washing ON TOP of the laundry basket instead of in it, his head in the sand approach to any sort of paperwork and the fact that he's not only crap at DIY, but unwilling to try.
I love him to bits tho and none of it's worth getting my knickers in a twist about!

None, i am happily single
