Society has fooled us into believing that compromising is a necessary way of life. Nobody wants to compromise because compromising sucks, yet we're all fooled into trying to "make things work" when clearly, they will not. Compromising means you are going to accept something you don't want so that somebody else can get something they don't want either. Don't do it.
Work through the issue instead. If you can't find a way to resolve a situation in a matter that makes everyone involved happy - then maybe the resolution is to move on and find happiness elsewhere. Find all your compromises and squash them. Maybe nobody has to do the dishes, maybe the solution is a dishwasher, or paying a neighborhood teen, too young to get a job yet old enough to wash dishes.
