What sacrifices have you made for your significant other?

Question

Please state if you are male or female and your age group.

Answer 1

I don't see them as sacrifices, but desires to please him, because I love him dearly and completely. He does and feels likewise for me.

We have been married nearly 25 years.

Answer 2

I allow him a lot of time to pursue his hobbies without griping - It took me a long time to learn to do that though.

I cook according to what he likes to eat and never serve foods he doesn't like. I adapt to what he wants in many small areas.

I'm not sure this really counts as sacrifices though, more like just being courteous or kind.

Answer 3

I am a male, single, and have not made enough sacrifices to keep a significant other.  That is something I need to work on.  I could have plenty of women, but I only want the few I find very caring, and nurturing, sweet, honest and down to earth.  And I have messed up, and I need to learn from my mistakes so I don't become a bitter old man, or have to settle for some woman that drinks and cheats on me.

Answer 4

Not enough! I am disabled and she has been there for me more than I could ever put into words! I do my best to do what I can. She works as a CNA and it is a very demanding job. Both physically and emotionally. She also helps care for my disabled aunt. On top of that, she isn't the picture of health herself!

I want to give her the world but, since I can't do that, I do little things like, rubbing her feet, having her lunch ready when she comes home, I give her the bed and I sleep in a chair. We only have my bariatric bed.

Answer 5

I am a better man, and have given up, what I once thought was a lot, and now is revealed to be nothing.

I am very happy.

I'm a man, and a father of 2. I don't like age, I still consider myself young.

Answer 6

Doing her hard to comb hair. I hate it.

I'm female and 39.

Answer 7

I don't think that you an really narrow it down to a small answer...sacrifices happen everyday..letting him sleep a little longer...letting him watch stupid nascar...i hate nascar...it's the tiny things that are the biggest sacrifices...letting somebody into your heart is a huge sacrifice..letting him have the last word...

Answer 8

I fell in love with an alcoholic in recovery, my sacrifice was going through 8 relapses in 6 years, but the blessings that have come out of it was worth the struggle.

I willingly gave myself over to the control of my God and "sacrificed" all of what I have known to learn a new way of life with someone in recovery (Al-Anon) this to me was my greatest sacrifice to my husband but the greatest blessing to myself.

we both are in our early 40's
