The Make-Up Issue Part#2

When you are in a relationship you compromise. The problem with compromising is when one person happen to be the one doing it all the time... Makeup was first, shoes came next and clothes followed. I would often ask Him why... It was not like one day I wanted to look like Amy Winehouse! (clearly I am just referring to her overall appearance because I would love to have her musical gift). Still, I compromised thinking that in the end of the day; I was going to wear something out of my closet... but that was just the foundation for what followed. There was always something to complain about me: the type of books I like to read (particularly the ones with pink covers), the fact that I am not passionate about politics, the "too much free time" that the airline gives me, my "mediocre" part time job (which I got after a major fight about my "free time"), me wanting to have an easy going life... sometimes He would apologize and criticize himself for being so hard on me, sometimes would say "you are wasting your potential; I can see you doing great things..." I guess His apologies/comments made me believe He was really trying to be a better person (realizing He was being a pain in the butt), and that He just wanted me to see/believe that I could also be a better person/Do Better...
