We both sacrifice time together, since we are in a long distance relationship. We have to do that to make it work. It's hard but we make it up in ways like texting during the day and face timing at night. It seems like we are talking all day, tho it's much better when we are together. We also sacrifice our pride and the game, although its a struggle at times, we learned we don't have to play the game with each other and don't let our pride get in the way.


Being with other people in high school and sometimes sacrificing a lot of time but it's totally worth it (:


Being together in person for a few months but still keeping in touch with Skype, email, and this website :)


Changed a bunch of habits, learned to be less selfish. Still a work in progress.


I would say that we all too often sacrifice time for us and nurturing our relationship for other things. It seems that everything is something we HAVE to do...especially work and kids and our relationship is seen as flexible. Hopefully we can find a compromise with the kids, work, Church, and us to find time for us and growing our relationship.


Obviously wish we were as far away as we have to be sometimes, but it makes our time together supppper amazing


Nothing.


My heart and she's worth everything I do.


She's given up far more than me. Sometimes I'm not obvious about remembering that. She had a stable and "comfortable" relationship. Not a happy one, not an exciting one. But it was stable - and despite how tough she seems a lot of the time, she *needs* stability far more than I do.

And she gave that up to be with me.

It's amazing to me that she would do that.


Sex with other women... Duh!!!
Love you babe!!!
Ditto! But with men!! Love u too babe!

More then I think he knows but then again he does!!


Selfishness...happened for me the moment I saw her!


He has given up smoking which was a huge issue for me...
Ive given up my need to always be the one making the decisions...although I was more forced to give this up! Lol
I guess we will find out soon enough if we will need to make the ultimate sacrifice (kids) or not :(


My life in SG. But it'll all be worth it.


I don't really feel like I've given up anything. Our relationship was mutual enough to not have many sacrifices. I guess I've given up some phone time with other people.
