Something's Gotta Give

"Something's Gotta Give" is a phrase meaning that in a situation where two or more parties are struggling or in imbalance, compromise or change is inevitable. It suggests that current conditions cannot continue indefinitely without adjustment. The phrase often appears in contexts like relationships, negotiations, or systems where underlying issues must be addressed, implying that persistence without change is unsustainable and that one side or both may need to adapt for progress or resolution.
