What would you do for the love of your life?

Well it truly just depends b/c when you have found "the one" you both make sacrifices for each other not just one for the other. My husband and I have been together for 11 years and we're still in love like day 1. Not to say that we haven't had rough spots here and there but we've definatly had to make sacrifices for each other. If my spouse were to give me an ultimatem then that's something totally different but there are give and takes in the relationship you just need to be clear on why won't the other person give a little? Is it worth it, if not let it go and maybe something in the future will happen for you both if not they weren't "the one"

I'd just overlook it. If I love that person, it'll be worth it to want to be with this person whom rocks my world. Everything and anything.. hmmmmp.. True that they say old habits die hard, but with patience and dedication, even the heaviest rock can be moved.

I think that love supersedes everything. If it is true love I am ready to forget about myself, my ego in order to make my relationship work. If this is an important relationship I will do anything to make the relationship going and be an everlasting one. The only thing that I would want her to accept is me and my dogs. I am a dog lover. I cannot live without dogs in my life.

my wife wants the life at the province, by the beach, but my work is in the city so she has to be with me here... even if i wish to give her that simple life, i couldn't as i think we will not last long with only sand and salty water.

Out of them choices the thing I wouldn't give up would be the cat.

Hello, I would do almost anything for the love of my life. I have sacrificed a lot for a girl once. I sacrificed my own happiness, my career. I put everything at stake just to find that she never actually loved me. All she said was lie. She wanted something else from me. I suffered a lot until I found the true love of my life, God. This time I am so desperate that I can leave almost anything I have. I have already sacrificed so many things for unworthy person. I think I can sacrifice more for such a worthy person. God bless you all

I would prefer to live in plenty than to be in a penurious state of affairs.

Didn't they say 'love conquers all' All you need is adjustment and compromising with the new person in your life. Sure you would meet some problems initially but it is only a teardrop in the vast ocean compared to the mountain of love that you have for him.

hi dawnald I would do almost anything for the love of my life, and in a wway I did, as my father disowned me for defying him at age30 and marryng a man he did not like, I gave up one million dollars, and that almost caused my dad to have a stroke but no he did not have one, just an adult hissy fit. but like the lamb I wo uld never have given up my hamburgers, my black coffee, and chocolate., those I would have to keep. I gave up my own church to marry my husband, and endorsed a religion I came to really dislike, nothing mean intended here, Seventh Day Adventist because they were too too strict. He and I finally went back to my own church, Methodist. No for me its black coffee, hamburgers and chocolate. Myhusband really was a rebel in that he loved hamburgers and coffee too.

Hmm.. well I am a smoker, and I could probably give that up with some effort and patience from the other person. I've quit before, and will again when I'm ready. I won't give up my cats, they're family, just as much as my kids are. I could move I suppose... but you have to stop and wonder, if this person wants you to make all these changes and they won't bother to budge on them, why are you fighting so hard? I mean I can understand the smoking and the cat allergies... but if they force you to move to them, that just makes me wonder. What's so important about staying in Arkansas that I'm the one that has to up and move?? You know? Thankfully when I met my husband I didn't have to give up a thing, and I think that's important in a partner. You shouldn't have to change who you are or give up things you love. That person should accept you as you are.

Interesting that I know at least one couple for every deal breaker scenario you described!! As for me, hubby and I have been together since we were 18 - so we've never been alone in our entire adult lives. We literally developed as a couple and have always worked it out with compromises somehow . . . and the whole give and take thing . . . so we've never had an issue with any "deal breakers". That being said, if I were in the position in having to decide, I wouldn't give up my want to have children. I have a few female friends who wanted babies . . . but then got married to guys who didn't want to have children . . . and so they are didn't. I'd say only a couple of them are totally glad they never did had kids, but the rest have major regrets . . . and now they are not of the age to have children anymore. There's no going back for something like that - and I know I would have been heartbroken if I never had kids.

I have very simple rules in my life. I cannot give up religion or family. Everything else I can compromise on. Infact I did. My husband and I couldn't be more opposite in likes and dislikes and overall personality yet we have survived through all compromises thus far. How about yourself?

Haha...really not too much. I have given up some things in the past but I could live without those things.

Well to the loved one, i will change not matter what it is. And in any one, its not just enjoying the similarities, respecting the differences is equally important. So to make her happy, i will change even my favorite things and principles too..everything is well and fare in love!!

Oh that's a tough question dawn----------if she ask me to give up mylot finally???? Oh no!!!!!

i WOULDN'T GIVE UP ANYTHINGUP ANYMORE! Tried that a few times & it didn't work out at all. Why should u have to give up anything? u meet someone & as soon as they think they have u hooked they start in trying to change u or vice versa. U fall in love w/them the way they are so what happens?

I guess that it would depend upon what he was asking me to give up and the reason behind it. If he was very allergic to animals and he really was "the one", then I guess that we could make arrangements that would allow me to be with him without killing him, but that would be extremely difficult for me, because I love my animals. He can't help his allergy, though, so it is a serious health risk and not like he is just asking me to get rid of them because he doesn't like animals. On the other hand, when it comes to my children that is where I draw the line. If you do not like children, then do not even stop to take a second look, because you don't stand a chance!

I guess it would all depend if the deal breaker would be something I could learn to adjust to and live with. If it was something like moving, I probably would, but if it was a habit that I found to be disgusting then I would not. I don't think I would consider this person to be "the one" unless they were willing to compromise on changing the deal breaker.

i'm learning how to cook now and its something that i don't like doing before but loving it now. my partner is a big eater although he doesn't gain an ounce of weight even if i stuff him with so much food everyday... but since i know that it makes him happy to feel that i'm taking care of him and that i love what i'm doing is enough for me to like and love cooking even if i am really afraid of the hot oil when i'm frying something or i accidentally cut myself while chopping the veggies.. sometimes these little things can make your relationship stronger. and its really true that the way to a mans HEART is through his STOMACH!!!

I would make sure that it was really a deal breaker and not your nerves getting the best of you. Starting a relationship can be hard sometimes. Sometimes we look for a reason to get out and not to risk getting hurt again. If you want to be with that person I think you should try to make it work no matter what. We are too quick to give up on a relationship, somethings are worth fighting for.
