Was suppose to be 9/10 whoops. People are not able to really compromise these days because we live in a very individualistic society. Any sort of dependency on another person is seen as weakness, especially if you're a man.

Within the relationship context this causes many couples to not be able to hit the required escape velocity to exit the honeymoon period (3-6 months on average). If you're in a major metro, there is a multitude of additional options that are fresh and new so why compromise?

This is destructive to an individual's ideals within the relationship context because either you dig your heels in just like your opponent and move on to the next partner (easy/common), or you both decide to calibrate and compromise (hard/rare).
