What's the biggest thing you've sacrificed?

Same. I let DH talk me into moving here permanently instead of just for the summer when I got an important internship. Nine years later and I’m stuck in an ok government job instead of doing what I really want to do. And now we have kids who are deep into school and friends that I wouldn’t want to move and disrupt their lives even if I could. *sigh*

I mostly like it here and am pretty happy if I don’t think too much about how much I’ve given up to make everyone else happy.

My husband farts in bed. I put up with that shit.

He's great otherwise.

Why?

PP: ED issues and no interest on his part. I went into the marriage knowing he had ED/low drive, but didn’t anticipate no sex, at all, ever.

Why stay? That sounds unbearable.

She's looked around. Like my good friend she'll end up with a lot of good sex, but tons of other problems. My friend dumped a great husband for a pos...but hey she did get a lot of sex out of it!

Same, only we do live here and one of us wants to get the hell out.

A flat stomach after three large babies - two 9+ and one 10lb 13oz. But it was worth it along with the other sacrifices I’ve made. A sacrifice is worth it if the end result is positive.

I, I, I, I, I....you mentioned yourself 10 times. No wonder your marriage isn't happy.

Hopefully she isn’t a writer.

Sex. She's willing to help me out now and then but isn't interested in it herself, and no longer orgasms due to medication she takes. If I think about never having mutually enthusiastic, lustful, adventurous sex again my heart will break, so I don't think about it. Cheating and divorce are not options.
