I have been going with a guy. Recently he told me that he wanted a "no compromise relationship". What is a "no compromise relationship", what should I expect or not from him, what should I do?

I think that when a man say he wants a "no compromise relationship" what he really wants to say is that he is "honest" and he is making you aware that there won't be exclusivity and that he is going to go out with other women.
I might be wrong. If he is so "honest" he could explain it to you. Do not be afraid to ask and, depending on what he says, you will be able to make a wise decision of what you want for yourself.

No compromise presumably means precisely that. Nobody needs to change for the other party, just accept what they do without complaint.
My suspicion is however that what he really means is no compromise on his part, with every compromise on yours.
Either look further afield or beware.

Every relationship has to have compromise.

I have no idea what a no compromise relationship means. Hmm...here's an idea: ASK HIM! Obviously, communication is a big problem in your relationship and you should work on it.

no:
–adverb 1. (a negative used to express dissent, denial, or refusal, as in response to a question or request)
2. (used to emphasize or introduce a negative statement): Not a single person came to the party, no, not a one.
3. not in any degree or manner; not at all (used with a comparative): He is no better.
4. not a (used before an adjective to convey the opposite of the adjective's meaning): His recovery was no small miracle.
com‧pro‧mise:
–noun 1. a settlement of differences by mutual concessions; an agreement reached by adjustment of conflicting or opposing claims, principles, etc., by reciprocal modification of demands.
re‧la‧tion‧ship:
–noun 1. a connection, association, or involvement.
I'm no English professor, but based on those definitions, it sounds to me like he wants to push you around.
Instead, suggest to him the much rarer, Give-and-Take relationship.
If he refuses, then offer him the 'Go F@#k Yourself' individuals package.

If my boyfriend said that, I would think he meant that what he said was the final word and there would be no discussion about it. If that is in fact or even remotely close to what he means I say lose him. Because he is already showing signs of control. This is not how you want to spend the rest or even part of your life. Think about it.

Ask him about it. It could mean that he expects you to do whatever he wants!
