"INTIMACY, n. A relation into which fools are providentially drawn for their mutual destruction."


what would you sacrifice for the love of a significant other??
what have you sacrificed??














Friends need not agree in everything or go always together, or have no comparable other friendships of the same intimacy. On the contrary, in friendship union is more about ideal things: and in that sense it is more ideal and less subject to trouble than marriage is.

I gave up 14 year's on a women who thougt more for her friend's and drug's then she did for her son!!!! I didn't really care what she did to me but my son didn't need to have to deal with it and it still isn't over for him,,, He want's her love and she will not give it!!!!!

I would say she cannot give it....but then I still cannot understand how some cannot or will not give up the world for their children

What would I sacrifice?? I don't know. Depends on how worth it she is.

I HAVE sacrificed my dignity a couple of times. Won't be doing that again.

how do you determine worth?

I determine it according to my own guidelines which would most likely not be in line with a lot of people's ideas.

Personal experiences have made me determine what is worth my time and what isn't.

I dislike your answer it accomplishes being very good while at the same time answering nothing

you rock the boat

I always do...lol

OK. To be a little more clear.

" Worth it " to me entails more a mindset than anything.

Is she able to " rock the boat " by questioning things that others accept at face value?

Can she truly keep up with a train of thought that runs on several tracks simultaneously?

Can she accept me as being who I am and not want to " change " me???

Those are just some of the things that play into my feelings of whether or not someone would be worth making sacrifices for.

I may never understand this wanting to change someone bit

of course that implies that all people would be considerate or decent human beings....

but short of that, why should you change?

its up there with a first line being "so tell me a little about yourself" really now...thats just sad

Are you sure you aren't a whole lot older than you say you are??? lol

are people in my age group really that stupid? I have my blonde moments but geez at least I'm blonde, my god given right....

please pardon me..its just ..whatever

i rock the boat...uhhuh oh yeah....

I don't know if they are that " stupid ". But they sure don't display the level of maturity and depth of thought that you show.

At different points in my life so far, I've sacrificed:
My Self-Esteem
My Dignity
years of time
education
health
some portions of my sanity (Some regained, some not so much)
friendship
money
happiness

Now, some of those sacrifices were worth the gain to some degree or another, others, just a waste of time, but they've made me who I am to this point, and I'm not totally ashamed of that person. so.. ...

honorably so...

"In to me see" works too, although in the wrong hands I could see it as a devistating force.


I wouldn't. I've already left space in my life for just that with specific portions of the house earmarked family only. The pool table is staying put though.

What I've sacrificed in the past, has been what was left of my sanity. That's okay, it was overrated anyway.



Friendships can have the same sorts of problems as relationships with significant others. It's just not as common for a friend to stalk you when you put distance between you and them.

why on earth would anybody ask you to move that glorious pool table???
