Sacrifices.....

[Daddy2mylilgirl]

My little girl is interested in a job that would potentially have her traveling a lot. It would be a sacrifice for both of us. But if it will make her happy I am more than willing to make that sacrifice.

It got me to thinking:

What sacrifices have you made in your life? Why?

Do you regret them? Were they big or small? Do you regret not making one?

And the sacrifice doesn't have to involve a partner. It could be for family, friends, or anyone.

i made a ton of sacrifices starting at the moment i got pregnant with my children. Some of them were huge, for me and some seem trivial in hindsight. i don't regret them in the least.

You know, there are lots of things I might have regretted in the moment, but as I am now I really don't regret anything that has made me into who I am today. Of course we all regret bringing others pain, hurt and strife, but in the end each action and moment in our lives makes us who we are. Our mistakes teach us. Unless you regret who you are then I think you are exactly where you should be.


No regrets.


That being said, I've sacrificed things and lost things that hurt more than I can admit. I still don't like talking about it.

Sacrifices have been little thing, nothing specific that came to mind.. books, trips, expenditures when I was younger. Not going to the college I wanted, dropping out of the college I did go to to move to Va Beach because my brother asked me to.

On one hand, I regret not standing up for myself when my mother demanded I leave Ohio and go with her to Virginia. But, if I hadnt, I might not have met Malin, and if I hadnt met him, I wouldnt have met Master. So yeah.. I dont regret it.

I regret my mistakes but I'm pretty happy with the person I am now. I just refuse to believe you have to have crap in your life to be happy, appreciate your life or be the person you are today.

I've sacrificed a lot. It's in my nature to do so. I rarely regret sacrifices big or small. I think that's because I rarely made great choices when things were all about me. When I'm thinking of what's best for my child or my family or my lover I tend to make better choices regardless of the level of sacrifice that may be involved.

My husband has been in the military for 18 years. The constant moving, changing states, jobs, schools (for our daughter) can really take a toll after a while. You can't put down roots as you know you're just going to have to dig'em up and move soon. Friends are lost over time and distance and you're stuck starting all over again. Can't purchase a home. So, yeah...military spouses sacrifice a lot. However, nothing compares to what our AD spouses agree to sacrifice if the call were to come. I can only be grateful that hasn't come for us.

Do I regret it? Not a bit. He is my husband and I love him to pieces. My daughter has developed a bit of wanderlust from all the moving and is looking into joining the military herself when she graduates from HS. It's tough, but worth it

Leaving my job, my house, most of my belongings and my dogs to remove myself from a relationship that had gone sour.

Regret it, no. As rushed as my decision was, it was time: my job had stalled, my belongings are just material things, and my ex loved my dogs as much as I did. I am now back on track in my career and my personal life, and as much as I still miss my dogs, I know the decision was the right one.

This could have been me a few years ago. Hope it works out well for you Gloriann.

I made a few in terms of my relationship with my D. I chose to have no other relationships whilst I was in the UK and we were in an LDR. It was imo the best way to show my commitment and love. My biggest sacrifice is the one that finds me here in Australia and consequently away from my family and friends.

Regrets? No

Sacrifices.... I've made a lot.


Regrets... I'm not quite sure yet.

What sacrifices have you made in your life? I make sacrifices everyday for those I love... I dont consider them sacrifices I consider them signs of LOVE

Why? Cause those I love know Id do anything for them without needing a reason....

Do you regret them? There are no REGRETS in life only lessons you learn and live and move on..
Were they big or small? Some were big some were small but nothing there is nothing that is unforgiveable

Do you regret not making one? Like I said above there are NO regrets in life, I have some times where I was disspointed in my actions for I let people down in my life.. But I learned from that and moved on

And the sacrifice doesn't have to involve a partner. It could be for family, friends, or anyone.
