what do you do when the things u believe in and hold dear to start to seep away from you?

what happens when someone has so many prerogatives, and you're not even allowed to not accept them?

what should you do when someone close to you so obviously does not respect your views and values in life, just because they're not important to him and he does not see your point?

maybe i'm unsure all along but just try so hard to be sure. maybe i'm trying too hard to be someone who's not me and accept things i won't be able to accept.

all i know is that when there are differences, in values, ideals, expectations or whatever, the only thing to do is to communicate and to work things through together. i will and i want to compromise and find common ground to satisfy both parties, if you will. but if you won't, i wouldn't want to be the one to accept and tolerate everything which i can't.

i won't ever want anyone to put down my perspective just because it's not the same as someone who doesn't feel that my perspective is important in life. i won't ever want anyone to impose his prerogatives and his views on me without trying to find middle ground.

i'm utterly exhausted and utterly disappointed.

if we can't make it work after so long and hard

maybe what we can do is live the rest of our life

but not together.
