Nothing. We have fully excepted one another as they are.
I just feel like I've gain so much, I can't think of anything I've given up...although I eat more vegan these days ;(
Complacency
Stop to try to fight with his ex because of his kids
We are long distance so I've given up almost all travel except to be with him.
Time, tears, and trust.
I have given up my idea of what it should be like privacy. There is no, and should be none, privacy in a marriage.

I've given up everything I planned for and was hoping for so that he can peruse his wants and in return got to experience things I've never even thought of before. I'm blessed with an amazing and abundant life that most don't get to experience. I do miss my family and the big new things with them at home but that's part of life and we'll b back home one day to enjoy it.
A lot. We work consistently on finding better ways to communicate, we make compromises, and set out to be more positive and have good goals. I'm so blessed
Physical intimacy, yes. Ah, long-distance
A long distance relationship has meant we have given up A lot of travel and time with friends to mAke us work for more than 6 years
I feel like I've gained more than I've given up. I feel like she's given up her job and being close to friends and family to move around with me. I feel pressure because of what she's given up.
Hanging out with my friends of the opposite sex...some dart things
I've tried to create time out of thin air. learning experience really.
Yes, that was needed
