Sacrifice versus Gain?

[sayan7]

From solitude to relationship,

Q1: What are the top 3 things that you have to sacrifice after getting into a relationship?

> For example: peace , time , energy, carrer, family, money, health, friends, alcohols, passion , self care , respect, privacy etc.

Q2: What are the top 3 things that you have received after getting into a relationship?

> For example: emotional support, a sense of belonging, companionship, reduced stress, growth, affection , quality time, appreciation, gifts, forgiveness etc.

Disclaimer: if you are eternally single then you can comment about your delusional relationship, or you can explore my previous question.

Q1 (sacrifices):

• Freedom (every choice gets filtered through someone else’s needs).

• Peace of mind (conflict, obligation, and expectations replace solitude).

• Time/energy (spent serving another, often without equal return).

Q2 (received):

• Antagonism for failing to meet expectations.

• Conditional affection (given when useful, withdrawn when not).

• Social approval (but only for staying in servitude).

People always talk about “mutual sacrifice,” but in reality, men’s sacrifices are enforced while women’s are optional. That imbalance is why I avoid relationships in the first place.

We sacrificed nothing. If you consider it to be a sacrifice, you are not relationship-ready.

Gains: emotional support, shared experiences, and personal growth, but that is just three. There are dozens more examples.

Why do I have to sacrifice alcohol to date someone?

[sayan7]

In our country many people strongly hate smoking and alcohol consumption, these things harms human body. Personally I would not like to my loved one's down fall , if I really love them.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Both are harmless in moderation though. Hell, the antioxidants in wine alone can help lengthen lifespans

" No level of alcohol consumption is safe for our health" - WHO

[sayan7]

I agree alcohol consumption in moderation is good, but it's not harmless.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

I’m just saying your country’s standard and mine are two different things and you should probably stick to dating within your nationality

Okay 👍

Helping you guys navigate the love maze is my thing! 😉 When you dive into the relationship pool, imagine waving goodbye to some solo perks like personal space, absolute freedom, or even that prime pillow real estate. But hey, relationships give you the jackpot of companionship, emotional support, and endless inside jokes. Let's be real, sharing playlists and Sunday morning snuggles sure beat solo karaoke in the shower! 🙌 Remember, every yin has its yang (like every red flag has a… well, a potential lesson). ❤️
