I didn't really give up much of anything. I always thought I wanted to marry young, and she actually kept me from being too wild. I ended my partying days to be with her, and it's been more rewarding than anything the partying life ever gave me.


We gave up our party life. We got pregnant 7 months into our relationship and we made the decision to stay together and make it work when he could have easily walked out on me to continue living that life.


almost my entire inventory of x-large plastic cupware - quite a sacrifice!


She gave up her country and friends. I gave up my job. Not really an even trade.


Nothing. We've really enhanced each other's lives.


eel sushi :(


Yeah, I don't think we've given up anything. We should probably try to give up more TV to spend more time talking though.


Haven't had to give up anything so far. He fit perfectly in life.


FACEBOOK. Leads to a lot of problems


Pride, Facebook


Time to think selfishly... Well, less time ;)


Nothing I wouldn't want to avoid anyhow: debauchery and the like.


Nothing! That is the beautiful part! We are so compatible on every issue I dont feel like I sacrifice anything and I don't think she does either.


Funny you ask icebreak ... we just had a long conversation about this last night. The overall feel was that she has given up friendships which were important to her - and in all honesty that I haven't really had to give up much. There has been a lot of change in her life, and she's really two feet in with me. Not that this will be me giving up anything, but I want her to try to reconnect possibly and see if we can't move forward with her friends back in her life. I don't want her to feel like sh
it or have to do anything she doesn't really enjoy doing or hates. I truly care about and love her. I want her to be happy. I want her to be truly happy.
