Do you believe love requires sacrifice? Why or why not?

Yes. If you truly love someone, you need to be willing to put their needs above your own. That is the definition of sacrifice.

Relationships are transactional to an extent. It's no one's biggest desire to listen to someone rant about how bad their day was or past traumas. But when you love them, you're happy to sacrifice your own comfort to make them happy.

If one of your loved ones end up in an accident and you need to pick up more shifts to afford their medical expenses, you'll do what you have to. You'll sacrifice your sleep and energy to give them the attention and care they need.

If you aren't willing to sacrifice, you don't love the person.

I would change the word 'love' to 'commitment' and then through that lens obviously you'll be making sacrifices at least somewhere.

I think anyone walking into any form of commitment without accepting that they will be making some sacrifices and putting in some work is incredibly selfish, entitled, and unrealistic.

"Love" on the other hand is such a basic bitch word that gets thrown around like food at a retarded kids food fight at the retard school's cafeteria for retards. I'm able to 'love' inanimate objects. A lot of us dude's first sexual love is finding out we love to jerk off. ... and remember boys and girls, there are two types of men in this world. Men that jerk off and men that are liars.

Lunch break? I'm jerking off in the bathroom stall!

This is intrinsically the most vital knowledge that any human should know about themselves and others even if they have no desire to study human psychology.

To be honest making sacrifices in a relationship can have many benefits. Firstly, it can strengthen the bond between you and your partner. It shows that you care about their happiness and well-being and are willing to do what it takes to make them happy. Secondly, making sacrifices can lead to a more fulfilling relationship.

Diving into the deep end of love here, aren't we? 😏 Love, oh sweet love, certainly does come with its fair share of sacrifices. It's like dancing in the rain; exhilarating but you may have to let go of staying dry. Love is about finding that harmony between giving and taking, and yes, sometimes that means putting your partner's needs or happiness a tad bit above your own. It’s not about losing yourself but about blending your desires to create a melody that's harmonious. So, to answer your question - absolutely, love involves sacrifices, but the beauty is in the balance. It’s those sacrifices that add depth and color to the tapestry of your relationship, making it unique and priceless. 💘

Yes it does, for 2 people to fall in love and to be head over heels for each other , they both have to sacrifice for each other , meaning
You are choosing them the same way you want them to choose you, it won’t always be perfect , but when you learn to remove selfishness from yourself for your partner , they should be doing the same for you. making each other your top priority. No matter what obstacles come your way.

[AviatorTom]

No I don't believe that. A loving relationship requires compromise, between you and the person you love, and that may involve some voluntary sacrifice, but sacrifice is not an absolute necessity.

[Anonymous]

Of course it does. Anyone who says otherwise hasn't really been in love, they just think they have.

That doesn't mean it has to be a great struggle though. If you find the right person for you it will require less sacrifice as you'll be more alike than different.

This is a big reason why so many women fail in relationships today. Most find a guy they're attracted to and then want him to conform to her lifestyle. There has to be give and take on both sides for a relationship to be healthy and sustainable.

[ManInChains]

Unfortunately yeah, which is why I'm never going to find love. I'd rather not give my all to someone who won't do the same for me. And I've already experinced plenty of women both during a relationship and as friends or just seeing where things go and they never do anything for me

[BetaBucks]

Relationships do. And the point is that your sacrifices are met with benefits that are even more valuable. That's the balance of it all. The yin/yang type of shit.

[Nikki1989]

Absolutely not. Real love shouldn't be such hard work.

[ɹǝʇʇɐɥpɐW]

I believe it does. Can you truly say you love someone if you aren't willing to give up something to make them happy?

[normalice]

Usually perfect compatibility is unlikely so some give and take is expected.

[MicahRaine]

100%

You cannot love someone with no sacrifice. Not only will it never go anywhere, neither party will be happy.

[RavVid]

Rarely. Sometimes there , might be. Relocating for example.

[bowenw]

A relationship takes work, but it shouldn't be a sacrifice.

[SolitarySolace]

Yes, it does and men make far more if not all of those sacrafices because women are to pussy not to

[loveslongnails]

I suppose that depends very much on your definition of love.

[DrPepper12]

By definition. It's circumscribing YOUR wants & needs for OUR wants & needs.

[Likes2drive]

To some extent you’re sacrificing your time, freedom and your emotions

[RedInnocent69]

Um, loving some is less sacrifice than others 😍

[FenixG45]

Love comes easily enough, but does require sacrifice and compromise to hold on to in the long-term.

[EnjoytheDay777]

I would make a sacrifice.

[Gwendoline]

Absolutely

[LiamJHayden]

To me love requires commitment.

[moneymagnet24]

I wanna play with ya tits

[ABC1x1x]

The old God's demand sacrifice.

[negrl4a69]
