Nope, don't think I like this. No one should have to materially change themselves to conform to a relationship. That's a clear lack of boundaries on their part. At the same time, no one should have to allow themselves to be abused (or poked).
Recognizing when something isn't working, or there are just too many incompatibilies, is a sign of self awareness and personal growth.
This image doesn't show a healthy relationship dynamic, and I think that just needs to be acknowledged.
I sort of feel that the message of the meme is being severely undermined by making the couple a cactus and a balloon. Like, both the cactus' danger and the balloon's vulnerability are fundamental physical properties of them. As you're saying, they probably shouldn't be dating.
they're are a lot of someones outside, try putting a cake under a box propped up with a stick, tie the stick to a string. and when someone goes for the cake, you pull the string.

I think it’s less about changing, more about being mindful of how you affect others and what you can do about that.
Sure, if you’re incompatible, best to recognise that, but sometimes habits or attitudes that aren’t part of your identity can be avoided or tempered.
That's why it's a bad cartoon - the spikes are part of the cactus identity.
i get that vibe too.
no one should be with someone if the relationship is basically forcing them to be someone else.
Yeah completely. The "just change" is as good advice as grow a third leg.
Alternatively: drink sixty bottles of wine.
Son, I drank you a life vest last year, this year I'll drink you a raft!
Explanation: back in the day people kept the corks to make things.
This is the way.
damn thats a lot of wine bottles
if cactus isn't for hug, then why hug shaped
More high-five shaped, but still not for high-fives either.
Step one: be with someone.
Fuck.

enjoy your new loving partner
What is this shit, guess I'm supposed to marry this ferret?
1/10 horrible dating advice.
Mazel tov to you and your ferret husband.
Meowrl!!
Why does the cactus not just shave? Seems easier.
Because that's extremely uncomfortable!
(I'm a human, not a cactus)
