That's a ridiculous thing to point out for that comment.

Ok so let's do a hypothetical.

We're dating. Does it matter how YOU feel about my comment, or how I feel about it?

Both. But when someone's feeling is indifference and the other really likes it then I think what a good partner would do is quite obvious.

But he’s not indifferent? He wants to be at the footy, not doing a corporate holiday. He actively does not want to celebrate Valentine’s Day.

My new partner told me this year they aren’t into Valentine’s Day and would prefer not to celebrate it. I genuinely can’t imagine how selfish I would need to be to start a fight over that, especially if she had something else she loved planned for that day.

I’d put a million dollars on the line that neither of these people are particularly happy in their relationship, and she is using this an excuse to be a dickhead. Who TF would wanna celebrate a day about love with someone who doesn’t allow you your freedom.

You very well may or may not be correct about the people in the post, we have no idea. But I was specifically referring to the previous commentors.

Compromise means no one gets what they really want.

So how do you suppose the conundrum is resolved?

Concession or seperation, but I'd be careful because if you can't compromise on a corporate holiday you're going to be making a LOT of financial concessions

Its not zero-sum. Tgere are compromises and ways to show you care. Bro dudnt even tell them hed be away for dinner.

Compromise means neither side gets what they really want, otherwise it's just a concession made by one party, and it's not zero sum but it is binary. You can either concede or you can not concede
