I'm not sure what you mean. Anytime you are in a relationship of any kind with another person, you make compromises, but I'm not sure what you mean by "The relationship is a sacrifice."

Are sacrifices made? Absolutely, on both sides.

Have I sacrificed me for the relationship? No.

I would sacrifice a lot for the person I love, and know (have experienced) they would do the same?

Totally worth it.

Women make sacrifices; men make choices.

Now, kids... totally different ball game. I have made more sacrifices in the past few years since having a kid than I ever thought or imagined I would. But, those decisions were for the betterment of the family as a whole, and I have no regrets.
Oh, gosh, yes! But again, I've found it to be worth it in the long run. Kids really make you run the full spectrum of emotions within a span of minutes. It can be quite amusing, really.

Another that thinks sacrifices is the wrong word choice. There are things I agree to although it would not be my first choice and things my H agrees to although it would not be his first choice. Those actions are chosen out of love and commitment. Some of those things are "big" (or seems at the time) and some are just everyday life kinds of things. 30 plus years into this relationship and we're still learning.

No because we were compatible enough to the point where we didn't have to sacrifice.

Once our lifestyles differed, we split, and we grew apart.

I believe relationships are supposed to help you grow as a person in the direction and goals you want in life, your life purpose, your meaning.
