I feel like I have given everything up for her and she hasn't done much given up for me. She is stuck in her routine.
We gave up facebook lool we deactivated it and we gave up talking to opposite sexes and having alone time with friends and partying.
Gas money! (Especially her :-) )
Smoking
Him cheating while talking to other girls
Buying rubbish
I gave up the worst part of my life. That's why she's the perfect person for me, she makes me want to be a better person. She lets me be my goofy ass self. Everything I have given up I didn't need in the first place. She has shown me what I really want in life.
Freedom, we have a son and I feel I've sacrifice more for him than he has. I'm a mom, doctor, nurse, therapist, teacher, friend, caregiver, mean mommy (it hurts) to my son. I should ask himi what he has given up cuz I can't think of anything.
I would give up anything that he wanted me to. Some friends that were not good for me and always trying to come between us.
Me: pride
him: I dunno
him: I dunno
I gave up my social life and he gave up working on cars.
Spending time together, &/or living together. {oxymoron}, right? He's given up not having to be accountable to anyone but himself, and devoting himself to music and socializing, in order to work & go to school to secure a future with me. And I gave up stability that made me feel safe, & a predictable life, as well as any type of personal time to care for myself or invest in dreams of my own, or to work towards goals, in order to stay at home with our son while he does.
Her: talking to other men
Me: put the past behind us
Me: put the past behind us
Cocaine and heroine and hookers... I miss them so much but you are worth it
hahahaha... damn right i am!

Being a normal couple. In a long distance relationship that's just not possible. But one day soon we will be .
How is that working for you? (also in a long dist rel)
