My career.. as someone with outstanding achievements and prospects..

My freedom and happy spirit. Both gone after 20 years of marriage. Sad

Having children is a huge sacrifice, you lose sleep, sanity, finances, patience, freedom, and much more.

Why do you post so many threads asking deep questions but never comment yourself? It's so fishy

Not moving abroad with dh's job because of elderly parents

I gave up a chance to compete in a martial arts tournament abroad due to a controlling ex. It was 25 years ago and I've never forgiven him.

"I suppose it would have to be... my penis.

Kidding!

Kidding!"

I sacrificed any hope of a flat stomach for my
love of carbohydrates.

Being literally cut open twice for my kids.

I'd never do that for DH Grin

Define sacrifice!

BillywilliamV · 24/09/2020 22:22

My left boob, to hopefully prevent me getting cancer at some unspecified point in the future.

Giving up my passion in life.
Not my choice, covid/the government have made the decision for me.

PomBearWithoutHerOFRS · 25/09/2020 00:18

I had children. Gave up everything I could have been and done.

Whynotdance · 25/09/2020 00:19

My wedding. I let my husband do what he wanted to, to accommodate his family. Who he now speaks to once every second year.

MinnieJackson · 25/09/2020 00:27

Sound like a knob but when I was 18 annd just finished exams, I went on tour with a famous band. We met a few other bands on the way, and had the time of our lifes. But now wish I'd stayed learning lol.

MinnieJackson · 25/09/2020 00:29

@PomBearWithoutHerOFRS do you really mean you didn't want your kids? What happened? No judgment here

MinnieJackson · 25/09/2020 00:51

@missmouse101 so sorry to hear that Flowers
