In human relationships, "compromise" is frequently said to be an agreement with which no party is happy because the parties involved often feel that they either gave away too much or that they received too little.
Et kompromis i menneskelige relationer er ofte anset som en nødtvungen aftale, som ingen parter er helt tilfredse med. Dette er fordi de involverede parter ofte føler, at de gav for meget væk, eller fik for lidt ud af det.
