Having fun at the bar.
Uhm... Not very much actually. Our lives coincide with our schedules so that we don't have to give up much of anything...yet.
I don't think he has given up anything to make our relationship better. I would say I have given up my old ways lol to make our relationship work. Well that's how I feel
I don't think we have sacrificed much to be together, perhaps connections to ex's is the only "sacrifice" but that doesn't feel like one since they are EX for a reason. Moving forward is the best way to take a journey together leaving those behind that are no longer relevant.
I agree!

We have given up our relationship for how many times.. like having space an living lige separately for awhile :) but now we are happy ;) happy together again ;)
Taking a step back, and living separately.. It's painful but it is helping so far at the same time.. We are rebuilding what we lost
I haven't given up much..
dont think i have given anything up, as for my partner, she might have given up on reality, which might be my fault.
Some of our old school friends who were not going to be value added to our relationship long term.
The only thing you really needed to give up for our relationship to work was hoes, not the friends. You deceived me into thinking because you gave up the friends and going out, that you were being faithful....but you find women at every job you've had...
