Only at the age of 16 i make a lot of sacrifices for everbody around me. I make sacrifices for my family, friends and boyfriend. I sacrifice my teenage years so that my mom can go clubbing and have fun why I remain at home and babysit non-stop, I sacrifice my education for my siblings when they are kicked out of school I remain at home to see after them. I fight my friends battles so I sacrifice my education for them. I sacrifice my life for my boo so that he knows that I love him. He is very needy so I have to wait hand and foot for him and jump hop and skip when he says. I think that it will pay off soon so I'll sacrifice until that day comes. They should never say that I dontlove them because I sacrifice too much for them.

I think most women do, it seems to along with taking a mans name, women seem to be made this way although i think things are changing, I really think men do expect a little bit too much of their women once they are married. I guess this is one reason I never got married, I am just too independent, I like to be in complete control of my my life so I only let a man into my life so far...

I also feel like I give up a lot. (Not all the time) My husband is a physician and with his specialty he's not home much. People think you might have a nice life, but little do they know. I get excited about my hobbies and doing things for myself, but I don't have much time for that. I need to start making more time for myself!

Hi!punlonjack. Your a good wife. Your husband is blessed to have a wife like you and I know all the sacrifices that you have will bear friut. Don't mind mind about the taken advantage thing. Be happy for it that you're trying your best just to please him. That is our rule as a wife, to please our husband, to serve and love our family. But always think that not all the time where going to submit or to obey our husband, we must see to it how it can help in our family. If that so, then go for it.
