Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush

So everyone's talking about the Kim Kardashian/Reggie Bush breakup.

Here's how an anonymous source explains the split: "This is just a case of conflicting schedules and their lives going in different directions."

Check out The Frisky's reaction to that justification:

What a cop-out excuse! If two people really want to be together, then they’ll find a way to make it work.

I don't necessarily agree.

In relationships, I think one of the worst feelings ever is realizing that you and your partner want different things out of life.

The realization can pertain to differences in choices like where you want to live, what you want out of your career and when you want to start a family.

When those differences become apparent, it's hard because your partner hasn't really done anything "bad." He or she has simply dreamed of a life different than your own.

I agree that love requires some level of compromise. I don't, however, think your relationship should make you compromise your identity or your dreams.

Yes, two people can really want to be together.

But sometimes, making it work isn't worth what you lose in the process.
