i've been with my wife for 30 years, neither of us has had to give up anything. i accept her for who she is and what she likes and she accepts me.
BUT if I had to give something up for her I would do it without a second thought.
If you feel you are giving something up that you feel is important you should stand up for yourself and if your other doesn't understand then kick them to the curb, don't waste your life with regrets.
One thing I will not give up is fitness. I'm an aspiring powerlifter/strongman so I have to keep my strength/fitness game tight and my girlfriend would have to understand that there will be times where I spend more time in the gym than with her. If she can handle that, cool. If not, she can keep it moving that way.
I gave up the privacy in my home when I let my boyfriend move in with me. And I do miss having my own private space a lot. My ideal relationship would be where we each have our own dwellings. I also let my boyfriend change the drivers seat in one of my cars, so that he could be more comfortable in it. Once in a while I will mention it, just to point out that even though it's more comfortable for him, it's less comfortable for me to drive that car now as the seat height is much lower. It's not being a nag, but just pointing out that sometimes an improvement benefits only one person.
I would not relocate for him as there is good work in this area for me. I also would never give up my dogs for him.
I guess I'llo say it, I am a 420 smoker. My gf has never done a drug in her life, she has asked plenty of times for me to give it up. I made an exception and stopped doing it around her.
I gave up going to the movies with my SO because he hates paying outrageous movie ticket prices LOL Soooo, I go with friends instead.
