Stuff that I needed to give anyway like clubs.. But I gained way more.
The only thing I've given up is time, but if gladly spend it all over on him
I dont go out as much anymore and he doesnt work as much as he has in the pass anymore. We both have given up impulse shopping ( well I have)
I have given up everything. She has given up nothing. (So it seems right now). But I wouldn't change a thing
I gave up a lot I moved far out of my comfort zone away from family and friends and a job at one point not sure what she gave up would like to know though
I certainly did not give up anywhere near as much as you. I guess I wouldn't say I gave up drinking as much as I would consider it me being happy and not feeling the need to drink to make me happy. You finally made me realize that my happiness ultimately led to Chase's happiness and by giving up a "traditional" family I opted for a much happier family with you. I can't say any of that is bad though. I would be interested to know of you think there is anything I should be or should have given up.

Fighting
a lot of struggles and spending yrs apart from each other
spending time with friends but he's like my best friend so nothin really
ive given up all of my friends,drugs& gang banging & he hasn't given up anything!
We've had to sacrifice our relationship with a horrible long distance relationship. Sacrifice is a biggie simply because my fiancé does not believe in such arrangement, yet we've managed to keep a connected bond. I anxiously await for his arrival then we shall move on with our life.

I guess a lot but i don't really notice it after all these years or when you just want to grow up...when your in a committed relationship you give and take to help make each other happy and secure.
Well theres alot of small things here and there :) but main thing is i gladly give them up just to spend time with her ^.^
Having a life? But im sure thats more the kids then our relationship.
Immediate physical gratification! But he gives me SO MUCH love, & the feeling of being cherished & protected, that it makes all the craving & longing dead-easy to get thru.
