Give up everything and live with someone you love...

I will not go fully with you on giving up everything to live with someone you love especially when it is giving up on our parents'. A lot of young people including my eldest daughter could actually be head over heels when they let their hearts take over their heads. Making rash and risky decisions which at the end of the day is really going to hurt when the relationship does not work out or go the way they had dreamed and hoped. I can accept like getting out of their comfort zone and go practical with their relationships like being independent with their finances and work life, which are the very issues that actually make or break relationships. Then, there are issues about certain boundaries and limits that must be established between themselves according to their family background and customs. Defying it will just create more issues to both families. I feel that we should be both logical and practical when it comes to making decisions on what to give up and what to observe.

Well, I did give up a lot the day I married the Love of my life, my husband almost 13 1/2 yrs. ago, but looking back even with all the ups and downs, what a wonderful 13 yrs. it has been. Personally I agree that when you find the right man or woman it does not matter what is going on in each others life, you learn to compromise, come together, get married, and be one. If it is truly Love nothing else will matter.

Well, I think that question is a little bit too late for me. I am already married. The thing is, I did not give up everything since the love of my life was some that I have chosen and there was nothing to give up. She supported what I do and in the same manner, I supported her. But then of course, If I have to go back in time where I was still single then face such question.. yes I will give up everything for the one I love.

If I do that, I will consider myself as selfish as they are much more things need to be consider. Give up and leave everything just for the sake of someone we love is just for those who have no one else. They don't have to think about anything else so taking a decision to live with someone they love is somewhat accepted. The life is not always about it~ Anyway it just for me. That is what I think about it.(^^)

Well, it is on movie...and when i am 18 i thought that i could give up everything to live with who i love..but now, i won't. Love is not forever...i know you may be sad when i say that but it is the truth. I used to have a long relationship for long time and i felt that nothing could make us separated...but finally that love was broken...and with the time, i found that love is forever...is just on movie or poetry only..Or rarely it goes with some couples.

First, I would like to shout at a very important point, that is of real life is something far far away from what we see in movies. However, I totally agree that I would do anything, while it is possible for me, to live with the person that I love. Since she is the source of my happiness, and just the look at her eyes makes me forget all my pain and all my sorrows. Furthermore, that person is willing to take the same risks for me . So I have no right to let her down.

I did give up my hometown and my old life to be with the person I loved, but things didn't turn out the way that I expected. At that time I had a boyfriend from the other end of the country, we had had a long distanse relationship for one year and then we finally decided to move in together. He had a house and a job in his town and I was about to start my education as a nurse. We discussed the situation and decided that it would be best if I moved to his town. I applied at the nursing school in his area and I got admitted. Shortly after I got admitted he broke up with me. It was too late to change my application that time, so I had to move to the other end of the country anyway. I was disappointed and sad, but I had to find an apartment in that town. My life in town became very different from the life that I had imagined, but I found many nice friends and it is actually became a very happy period in my life. I don't regret giving my up my old life for love. My relationship didn't last, but I had a great life in that town anyway and I found another boyfriend.

I am willing to give up everything except for my faith. We all know that some of us have different religions and beliefs. I don't care if he is short or tall, don't care if he is rich or not, what matters to me is that he acknowledge the fact that I have the right to choose which I think is right. :D I think I am over reacting. Yes, I guess all of would want to spend the rest of our lives with someone we trully love.

There are two things that I would not give up: my faith and my family. No matter how deeply in love I am to a man but if he doesnt respect my faith or my family, i would not go for him, I would not give up my love to God and my family just for a man. If you are talking about wealthy or life style, then of course Im willing to give it up to live with the person I love but there is also one condition that the man and I willing to start everything from beginning. I mean, its okay if I have to give up my luxury life and get out of my comfort zone but it doesnt mean we wont try to have another comfort live.

I don't mind to give up my country, house, life style unless I have an income and I am able to do what I like as well. I don't give about luxury, electricity etc. So it depends on what you mean by: giving up everything. Also I do believe this should come from both sides. It's wrong to ask one person to give up everything for you but if you are not willing to do the same for that person. And this is mostly not the case.

hi Bhebelen, I am with you with the falling in love with someone and living happily ever after but I don't follow or agree with the giving up everything for another...If I find someone who I wish to spend my time/life with, I expect them to accept me as I am...Therefore giving up everything for them is definately not an option.... I truly believe in the "what you see is what you get rule" and together we can grown from there...giving up everything for someone else is not for me....

I admire those people who have the courage to give up everything and follow their heart. I don't think I could do that now. Maybe because I have seen so many things, so many relationship going to waste, so many people breaking up. A few years ago, though, I would have given up anything for the men I loved then. I would have married him, though I was very young. But things did not work out well, and I guess that is for the best now.

Hi Bhebhelen14, I think, we can have the both of two worlds. Enjoying a luxurious life with the one you love. But if I have to pick one of those, I would pick the one that can give me real and everlasting happiness. The one that can kiss me back and hug me genuinely. One can cook a simple recipe made with sweetness and love. We only live this life once, so I would seize the moment with my real happiness, who knows what life may bring, I may not meet the same happiness again in my life time. Obviously, I would choose the one I love over anything else.
