should i give up myself to not lose you?

The perfect relationship is where BOTH give completely of themselves. NEITHER expects the other to give MORE than they do. BOTH give 100% & take only 25%. NO ONE is sacrificing as BOTH are giving completely!!! You become the ultimate team!!!

i will try as much as i can to save our relationship but if i know i have done everything and still i can;t make the relationship work then no matter how much it hurts me...i will give up and set him free. i dont want him to be tied up to me and he's not happy anymore. that's not love.

well i certainly will not give myself up for any relationship. a relationship that doesn't allow me to be myself is not worth staying in. also, i never believe in making sacrifice. to me, anything i do in a relationship is out of love. if i feel it is a sacrific, i will not do it. because in the end i know i will feel bitter no matter which way the relationship goes. it will just eat the relationship away. changing is innate and we all change. it's whether we change because of experiences or if we change to please another. cheers ;p

In reality, we tend to lose ourselves whenever we fall in love. It is either you would change for the better or you would change for the worst. But more often than not we tend to change for the better. We tend to underestimate the power of love and what it can do to us. We may not notice it but the things we hate doing before but if our partner loves doing it, we adapt ourselves into it. That has always been the case. Either you will be influenced or your partner will be influenced by you. About your question: "how far can you afford in order to stay in a relationship?" I would do everything in my power to save the relationship. I don't easily give up. Even if there's only little hope that we can fix the relationship I will hold on to it.

I am completely over this stuff. I have sacrifice myself just to make the one I love happy. Truly, love lost its beauty when being held in the cage. I have tried not to give myself up just to hold on to the relationship, but no matter what I do to save the old good times, all ends just wouldn't meet. Love can really make the strong weak and leaves geniuses no answers. When I thought I was strong enough to hold on, that's when I fall on my knees. Loving makes someone selfless, but that doesn't makes me cynical about love. I loose all my strength but I can still go on, I am really out of reasons sometimes when it comes to loving.
