We actually had this convo today and we've decided to stop with the constant fighting about the same things so we can gain trust back. Oh and I need to stop checking his phone every second I get so we can make this work.

My partner has given up having people to stay (I hate that) and I have given up my dream to live in the US.

I've tired to talk to him about stuff and given up mostly thinking about myself financially to allow him to feel better. Also flirting with guys on my part and also hanging out with guys so much.

We just had a baby and I've given up everything to make this relationship work. I feel he could care less. He's out with friends all the time. And doesn't care to listen when I'm upset about anything.

We are giving up one of our pool teams so that we can have more time to ourselves and to devote to our life together.

We give each other time every day, sleep next to each other, and wake up next to each other.
