what lengths are you willing to go in order to satisfy your partner in all aspects esp. when you don't want to do something. What have you done to get over yourself (greed/selfish) to please your partner? Do you do enough for your love one and how could you make them feel more valued?

That's the only way to make a relationship work. Sacrifices and compromise along with communication.
Like a person's job. My hubby for one is at a Job he doesn't like a whole lot, but it's a very good job, so he stays. It's not intolerable, so as long as we can continue to live nice b/c of this job, he stays.
Myself. I live far from some of my family, and not planning on moving any closer when we move, that's a major sacrifice for me. I love being close to family!
But we all have to sacrifice every now and then.
Hope this helped! ♥

I know that I have gone above and beyond for my bf. He has lost his job 4 times in the 5yrs that we have been together and each time who has stopped everything to make sure all the bills, the rent groceries and daycare were taken care of me. I haven't been shopping for myself in over a year and a half because I can't afford to because something might come up and since I am the only one with money coming in I can't spend mine. Then he will get mad at me because I didn't do something he asked and I have to remind him all of the stuff I was doing. He says to me that is what people do in a relationship but I am like you are only saying that because I am doing this for you not the other way around. I have given up a lot to take care of and satisfy my bf but he doesn't appreciate. I always get the bull about people in a relationship do this for each other

For a loved one there is nothing I wouldn't do to keep them happy. Whether it be watching NFL all weekend long, or buying them tickets to the CIAA events taking place. I am not a sports fan, but I dated a guy who was, so I made every effort to learn about football, and basketball, even NASCAR. He knew I didnt like these things and he appreciated the effort. I usually cook him diner when he comes over too, being that we both work it would be easy to do the take out thing, but I know that he likes home cooking....When in a relationship it doesn't feel like a sacrifice, but it is. There are things I could be doing rather than making his favorite dishes, or watching his sporting events....but its a relationship, and he gives the best full body massages....so its pretty much even.

I guess the only way is to make them number one, but as for me, i just can't do that right now. he has lied and been a cheat, so right now, I am sacrificing not being around my own kids, who are all grown, but am with him in another state.
IF he treated me well and I could learn to trust him, I'd probably sacrifise everything.

I'm actually surprised at my tolerence levels. I've been in several relationships that just go flat. I make the effort and then smile like it doesn't effect me just like a regular movie/sitcom. I'd cross oceans if I knew they would do the same.

Of course, when people say I DO, it usually means I WON'T be doing many of the things I used to do before.
