    If your partner didn't quite like some thing about you would you change it. I know when i started going out with my partner i used to swear a lot, still do but not as much, but he didn't like it too much, neither did my family. Apparently mouth like a fishmongers wife, as my dad called it, isn't too attractive to the opposite sex. So i try to tone it down a bit

    Or if you didn't like something about them would you ask them to change.

    Thoughts ladies and gents?

    The only thing I've changed about my other half is that he shaves more now. I don't like stubble and he's quite hairy so it's painful! He shaves much more regularly now because i kept complaining about it! I don't think he's changed much about me, except the fact that I now admit I'm wrong sometimes which I never did before!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,184 ✭✭✭✭Pighead


    Pighead wouldn't change a damn thing. Take Pighead as he is or don't take him at all.

    You don't like Pigheads massive todger? Fine, fcuk off and find one of the bgrh lads instead

    You don't like a hairy chest? Fine, go fcuk a ladyman.

    You don't like it when Pighead farts and burps? Fair enough, Pigheads recent farts have been rank. Wouldn't tell you to fcuk off over that one to be fair.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,756 ✭✭✭Jules


    Fine reply there Pighead, as usual, but please try and be a bit nice, less of the fcuk etc.

    be warned.

    Flipping hell, this place is a bit flipping strick isn't it? Pighead didn't realise there was no flipping swear words allowed. How many of those flipping warnings are dished out before the flipping bannings take effect?

    Back on topic, if Pighead really really really really really really really really really really really liked a girl he might change his hygiene habits for her ie shower more than once a forthnight. She'd have to be special though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,756 ✭✭✭Jules


    Not strict but is there really a need for all that swearing, and flipping is find makes you look nicer!

    ANd im sure we can find you a girl that looks like the durty type....

    Now back on topic.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,756 ✭✭✭Jules

    This is something I try to control also not because he minds which he says he doesn't but just that he doesnt do it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,220 ✭✭✭20 Times 20 Times


    Personally if i love someone i wouldn't ask them to change but however in both cases there can be adjustments made , a good solid relationship is based on compromise , I would never ask someone to change there personality.

    Now thats a Fcking FACT ! :0

    To contribute: No, take me or leave me, tbh. I am who I am, and if I have to change who I am to suit someone else, then I'm not me, I'm a projection of THEIR ideal person. If they want that, and I'm required to change to BE that, then they can keep on looking, in my opinion. Everyone's happier.

    I share my Power 50/50, both here and with Mr WindSock.

    I cut his hair sometimes, he tells me what clothes he doesn't like. Sometimes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,331 ✭✭✭✭bronte


    I'm extremely stubborn, so wouldn't change anything for a guy.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,007 ✭✭✭pretty-in-pink


    Change? Well I suppose the usual rules regarding monogomy, other then that, hygiene and help around the house. Compromise, and the natural changes, but I wouldn't force someone to change nor would I be pleased with being asked to change radically either


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 848 ✭✭✭MayMay


    I changed quite a lot of things about myself for my ex....when you have to start changing things about yourself you should know they're not the one for you really shouldn't you....oh how foolish I was...

    Ah well, you learn from your mistakes. I won't change a thing about myself for the next person that comes along, like it or lump it, this is me!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,397 ✭✭✭✭azezil


    I try to stick to my maxim, "to thine own self be true", while I won't make any major changes to my life for someone I will make miner ones, as long as they don't put me out.

    For example, an ex (if one could even call him that) wanted me to stop hanging around with one of my mates because he didn't thrust him, that didn't happen and I showed him the door instead.

    Come to think of it, he's the only person to ask me to change anything :rolleyes:

    I did try to change another ex though which was ultimately fruitless, he can not be who I want him to be if its not in his nature as turned out to be the case.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,308 ✭✭✭Pyjamarama


    My OH doesn't particularly like swearing either so I try not to swear all that much around him but I don't really see that as a major change or changing myself. I also prefer him stubbly so he shaves less now.

    Aside from that I'd never change anything major or stop hanging around with particular friends etc because he doesn't like them and if he asked me too then I wouldn't particularly want to be with him anymore. You love the person you're with as a whole, you can't pick and choose!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,196 ✭✭✭Crumble Froo


    ill be more tidy when he stops all his racist/bigotist/generally shocking statements just for a reaction from me.

    so far, neither of us has changed...
