What's the biggest sacrifice you have ever made?

[AmbsPhillps]

Can be anything

I wanted them, they were all very much wanted, and I love them dearly, but (isn't it always the case?) If I had known just how hard life with them would be, and that having them would utterly remove so many options, I wouldn't have ever had children.
It's one of those things though, can't change the past. Very much a "with hindsight" thing.

@PomBearWithoutHerOFRS I wish I knew you in real life, you're very brave to say. It's my birthday 🎂and I'm on my own. I don't know how you contact someone on mumsnet,but.I can give you.my email address? Take care

My confidence and own drive, as supported DH doing his thing and driving his career. I actually think his success is down to a lot of my drive but no one sees that.

Please message if you need to talk!no judgment at all. Xxx

Thanks @MinnieJackson
Happy Birthday

Gave up my career, happiness and choice so H could have his career. and he wonders why I’m a miserable person.

@Greypurse.I think you're right and it's not that atypical now?

@confusedpombear this is my thought too. Very dodgy

My career in journalism, for writing vague OPs on Mumsnet.

She says pointedly.

Bwahahaha

Hard no

@confusedpombear

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

I totally see what you mean and agree, but I wouldn't be generous enough to call that a deep question. It's a shower thought at best, and even then it's been done to death.

Oh and before anybody says anything, I sacrificed my sense of fun and enjoyment. I can't say for what though because OP didn't ask

Like many here I gave up the career and life I wanted to be with DH. Its a very good marriage and I love him but I do feel like I haven't lived up to my potential and I don't want to die feeling that way.

Having said that I suspect that if I had followed my career and lost out on the relationship I have with DH I'd be sad about that as well. Most of my who did pursue careers in that feild have not been able to maintain long term relationships due to the men being arses and cheats and some of them are very unhappy about it.

I feel like I am spiritually wasting away at times and suspect this unhappiness is a cause of my constant headaches and fatigue.

Moved overseas for my Dh. His dream has always been to live where we do now. Gave up my career moved away from all my friends & family. I don't regret it but I am still extremely homesick after 10yrs. I will admit I do sometimes throw it out there when we have 'words'.

@pombear I would second that. It's just incredibly bloody hard thankless work

@MrsTerryPratchett haha! fair enough lol, just wondering if you've been published by the big 5, bookcoutore, Thomas and Mercer or whatever. I meant no offence

My husband was going to get eaten by a to be fair fairly tepid lioness. I sacrificed myself.

Both boobs here hoping to stay alive!

I gave up my pelvic floor for my children 💧💧💧
I spend a lot of time trying to recapture it !
