Sometimes it makes no difference if you don’t agree with the person you love. Sometimes it does. Especially when your disagreement pulls you apart.
Maybe you disagree about where you live, occupations, religion, money, children, or anything else that matters to you.
On some things you are willing to yield. Not this. It is important to you. So important that you feel your loved one is being selfish, or doesn’t understand you. Important enough that it might destroy the relationship.
