Sure there are sacrifces to any relationship, but they shouldn't have to be so great that you're not happy 100% of the time. Ask anyone on here who's happily married, and they'll back me up on that one.[/b]
I agree with all that you're saying and maybe someday I will meet that person. Somehow I doubt it but hope springs eternal.
I just don't understand why the majority of my friends allow their wives/girlfriends to make all the major decisons for them. Friends who didn't want kids are now fathers, friends who didn't want to get married now are, friends who don't want to live in the Northeast are due to their wife/girlfriend wanting to.
I could never cajole/force a girlfriend into anything major unless they wanted it too but it seems that the opinions/feelings of my buddies were ignored/not asked for by their partners. Obviously, I am only getting one side of the story here so I may be wrong.
