What do you sacrifice for the one you love?

Question

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

Everything and nothing.

Everything because there is nothing I would not do for my girlfriend and the three beautiful little gifts she has given me. Three little gifts - two girls and my little princess - who, when I get home, run up to me shouting "Daddyyyyyyyyy!!!" and making me feel like I just conquered Everest instead have just having come home from buying the trash bags I forgot to pick up at the store the other day.

Because I love my girlfriend with all my heart. She makes me feel like a man and yet I never feel safer or more cared for when she is in my arms. Because she has never shown me anything but patience and love and understanding.

When I get on my high horse - and I do a lot as I work in politics - she does not yell or get angry. She just rolls her eyes, smiles at me and kisses me on the cheek. Not that we don't have our arguments, but they never end harshly or without remembering how much we mean to each other - and most of all how much she means to me.

Because I can never thank her enough for the heroism - and it was that - of went she went through to give me the little gifts she gave me. Even in all the pain and discomfort, I will never forget the moment -- with the birth of our firstborn - when in the midst of all that, she still looked at me at one instant, smiled and mouthed the words, "I love you."

The next thing I knew, I had this beautiful little life in my arms and the woman who means more to me than life itself smiling at me. Yes, the tears ran down my cheeks.

Why is it sacrificing nothing? Because there is nothing I have done or could do that would count as a sacrifice against what she has given me. I can never re-pay her the love, the gentleness, the kindness, the humor, the warmth, the (yup) sexiness, the softness, the humor, the happiness she has given me.

Against that, nothing counts as sacrifice. I would give her, and my little Munchkins, a million times more if I could. Because it is not a sacrifice when, for all the things I do, I am repaid with such love and happiness. In the balance, what I do counts as nothing, least of all as a sacrifice.

Sometimes, when she tells me how to do something like I'm a little child, I just don't way anything in response. I keep my mouth shut rather than complaining about being told what to do. But I'd really like to ask her - sarcastically - if she thinks I'm stupid.

I'm single but I would say I sacrifice my time cause even while being single I plan my future on my desire to get married - for example - I try to plot my career goals and set up my money making ideas - not just for this year but for the next 3-4 decades and the money is supposed to support a future husband and possible children and retirement or medical costs if I get married later on, setting up my business ideas takes time cause I have to research and plan and trouble shoot ideas and allocate funds and learn basic techniques too. Also the time necessary to lose or maintain weight means I have to prepare healthy meals and can't have microwave meals which I can eat in 5 minutes, but I might spend 1 hour cooking my dinner or lunch to eat a healthier meal so I look good for my future husband. And when I have time, I might do a work out - I also try to do self therapy on myself to work through personality flaws I have such as a lack of patience or a low tolerance for pain or broken self identity issues and that takes up time too.

Well for true love meaning genuine and unconditional I'd say everything and anything for what's available in society now a days-nothing.

Lliam · Answer

Nothing really. We are equal partners who want what's best for each other. We both make minor compromises that wind up benefiting us both. In other words, we both had to learn to live in harmony. But neither of us require the other to do anything they really don't want to do. Neither, do either of us hold the other back from doing things they really want to do. Even though we are partners in life, we aren't joined at the hip.

For the woman I love?
My life. But dying isn't really so bad in my opinion, I've done it before.
there's a lot id endure.
In some ways I'm enduring it now it just likely won't have a happy ending.
Rarely do they ever.

Teddu · Answer

It's not sacrifice if you rember it... It was more like an investment that you thought you were making subconsciously...🤗 All relationships demand compromises but they are cool as long as both are willing to workout and be together

NathanDavis · Answer

It doesn't feel as sacrifice, not for me... I rarely "give up" on something that would feel that much of a loss, sacrifice is a tricky concept really.
