Making Niomi downgrade her lifestyle to match his lifestyle, she has to move to his city, they get to be around his family, etc. What is exactly is he compromising on for this relationship and/or bringing to the table? Nothing! It's all about HIM. She has to fit perfectly into HIS life. Because god forbid he is uncomfortable for a second or has to lift a finger.
