For The Sake Of My Happiness

One life lesson I clearly remember was that you should never ask someone else to change who they are. They are the way they are and either you'll be compatible with that or you won't. You should never start a relationship of any kind (friendship or otherwise) with someone you want to change.

My question is this:

After you have established a relationship with someone, is there ever a time that it becomes okay to ask someone to change who they are?

Someone in my life has changed a lot. I rarely like who they've become. But is it fair of me to ask them to change who they are for the sake of my happiness?

Cause then I'd never know
What I could be missing.
But I’m missing way too much.
So when do I give up what I’ve been wishing for?"

If there are bad qualities to their personality that could hinder the relationship (or themselves), I would say that's really the only reason. Of course, the relationship works both ways and both partners have to meet goals!
