The other person that we were with


Some relationships and old ways


Pettiness?


Living in the same city. She had to move away for work, but in the end it will be better for our relationship because we will both be doing what we like, and we'll be together. Eventually.


nothing really. Lol.


That's tough to say. I'm giving up my career, most of my belongings and life in America. She is giving up ??
What do you want me to give up? Any wishes? ;) I give up smoking and living unhealthy because you like that. ;D I'll give up my tight muschi for our baby one day ;) I know you'll give up a lot. And I'm grateful that you do that only because of me!! :*

Definitely physical intimacy because of the distance


Saying, don't worry about it. We tell each other what it is that is going on


My career, soon to be his as well in all likelihood. He also gave up flirting with other ppl and porn


My partner has made way more sacrifices to make our relationship work than I have. I do the driving, she puts up with my constant nattering. I do the heavy-lifting, she deals with my idiosyncrasies. She's what is really making our relationship work for sure.


I have given up talking about our issues that we may have with others. That way I can use my own judgement and make decisions that work best for me and no one else. So keeping other out of our business is best.


Definitely other people poking around in our people.
