Unconditional love means you are willing to love them despite all their faults and mistakes. It means you accept them the way they are, even if they have some qualities that you are not particularly fond of. You just find it in your heart to love them no matter what.

For me, no one should sacrifice their happiness to make someone else happy! We are ALL entitled to be happy and should pursue it! sam

Unconditional Love
If you have to sacrifice your own happiness and sense of self, it's not love; it's that awful thing that takes over your mind in the beginning that
disguises itself as love.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOH This is deep and would take a lot of answering
in a nut shell then...long term no because you will end unfulfilled and depressed resentful and the relationship won't be built on truth.
short term it's best to compromise, talk things through. It doesn't hurt to go to both the theatre and the Football for example.
It isn't ok to compromise your faith or political affiliations .....agree to abortion against your convictions any of the really big important convictions that are part of who you are......time for me to stop.
