@puttypiesmom, that is hilarious-- your reference to Princess Michael made me smile.  She DOES seem to have been a huge pariah in the family, with her flamboyant behavior and perhaps dicey background.  She is certainly audacious enoungh to be part of the scenario you so entertainingly describe!

A compromise is a way to settle a disagreement.

There is no need for a compromise here unless Meghan is being asked to do something she does not want to do.

As far as we know, she wants to make all those changes. No issue.

IMO, if you marry a royal, it's not going to be a 50-50 relationship. A lot of things will happen as the royal tradition dictates.

Not fair or realistic to compare this marriage to a typical marriage. It simply is not typical.

1) I don't think there is ever such a thing as a true 50-50 relationship. Someone, at some time, is giving more than the other; often without realizing it.

2) I think the reason divorce is so high is that people are not willing to compromise; ever. 

3) People stay in relationships, ANY relationship, because they are getting something out of it. To the outside world, it may look one way but to those involved in the relationship, it's exactly as they have discussed it.

That bothers me.

This was my first thought too. That is sad.

I did see a picture of her with her dog, holding him -the one that talked about how she was upset that he broke both of his legs(article didn't say how!). I thought maybe it was when she was in the US for a visit or a previous photo.

I'm surprised about that-her giving up her elderly dog.

I've been married to the same person for 53 years. I think   that if you go into a marriage keeping score, from the get go, it is never going to work

She isn't marrying into your average family. She is marrying into a tradition , and  a nation, and a lifestyle, all that goes with it. She isn't a child ,nor is she stupid. I am sure she has a good idea about what will be expected of both of them

If you aren't prepared  to live according to the demands of this life style, you should never take it on.

Childish score keeping  is just that, childish

@Jordan2@Goldengate8361

I agree with Goldengate8361:

We have to assume that so far, MM is comfortable making these changes.  It is her option.

I could give my further opinion, but that would be fruitless because I would like to assume that she will always be comfortable with her choice.

BTW... it is my opinion that marriage, in particular, is a series of compromises.

Some posters seem to be over analyzing this relationship just a wee bit.

MM is hardly a babe in the woods.  She must have a pretty good idea what she's getting herself into.

I think I read the trip would be too hard for the dog to endure. I believe someone she knows is taking the dog. Meghan did or is taking another dog with her. I can’t help thinking how heartbroken her elderly dog will be not seeing her anymore. Hopefully he will live out his days being well cared for.

Not a Royals fan, but I hope he's everything she's not and she's everything he's not. That way they will compliment each other and find their lives are better for it and will think twice before they let that relationship go.
