Compromise

[NoJo]

I need silence. She needs music.
I eat bacon. She's vegetarian.
I read at night. She watches TV.
I love car journeys. She gets car sick.
She dances salsa. I only dance under duress.
I watch Star Trek. She teaches Italian Neorealist film studies.
I like talking. She likes clubbing.
I sit in the shade. She lies in the sun.

This has been going on for over twenty years, on and off. Now I've figured out what it is that we have in common, which has kept us together:

I hate compromise. She hates compromise.

Joe you have just summed up my life, thank you.
