As a divorced guy, I am in no real position to over relationship advice but I would say this, it's a good thing to compromise in a relationship when trouble arrives. It's NEVER a good thing to capitulate on something that makes you who you are. It's virtually impossible to get over the resentment that comes from that sort of thing.
Best advice of all; just talk about it.
Good luck.
