I love my boyfriend, but it seems like I sacrifice a lot to make our relationship work. Is it worth it?

One aspect of a healthy relationship is happiness, and if you are always catering to his wants then you can't be happy. I'm sure that there is someone out there that will respect you choices and willing  to meet you half way when it comes to making sacrifices. My personal opinion is that you can do better, but you are the only one that cane make the final decision of whether or not you should leave.

It sounds like you answered your own question with the "I love my boyfriend very much and don't want me mess things up with him."  Think about whether you really like this other guy or are only lusting after him.  Also if it is just for convenience will it last?  Think about what you would be giving up with your current boyfriend and if you will gain anything other than less distance with the other guy.  Do what your heart tells you is best.  Hope you make the right choice.

Ask yourself if what you're struggling over is worth it. Is it worth your happiness/relationship?\n\nIf it's not submit to him on that matter, if it doesn't greatly negatively impact your life or morals. If it is talk to him and tell him why this matter is so important to you.\n\nOr talk to him in a calm and rational matter (no screaming) and come upon a decision and understanding that both of you are comfortable with. If no decision or understanding can be reached, seriously consider leaving the relationship.

Might as well!  Who knows, if you two really love each other, you may be able to find a compromise.  Good luck!

You said you're working on the relationship, but if he isn't, it probably isn't worth while.  If he has been like this forever, and you thought you could change him....yep, think again.   If he is as self centered as it sounds,  you moving out probably just gave him more free time to do what he wants.  Don't kill yourself working it out if he won't give 110% also.  Habits are hard to break, and no one is perfect, but feeling like dirt on the bottom of somebones shoe is not expected.  Your girls should be learning repects from both parents.

Depending on how serious the future is for your relationship and how much you are willing to compromise and give up of yourself in order to make it work. \nIf you just aren't ready then you cant force yourself to be and you have to be honest about that. Its hard enough when you are in a marriage to make those kinds of sacrifices so you should definitely look at how sound your relationship is first.\nSecondly, how important are his dreams and goals to you and are you on the same page about where you want the relationship to go.\nThere's also the possibility too, that you could be honest and say you would try it for a while and see if you still feel the same about the city in an allotted time-frame. Enough to give your self time to adjust and then reassess if the city is really right for you.

What I think you need is to relax. You can't over push a relationship. If it is destined to fail it will no matter what you do. Stop trying to make everything so perfect and realize that it already is! Just remember this one thing. If you two stay together forever.... thats along time to try and stress over making things perfect! imagine how stressed you'd be then! Just hang loose and let him see the real you the relaxed you! He'll love it even more and then you can enjoy your time together instead of worrying all the time.

Ask yourself if you can live with all the in differences sounds like it might be difficult to always have him being the one who is right and in control you have to do what makes you happy any relationship is a 50/50 deal :)

I think if he loves you, it's not hard to motivate him. You yourself, and your relationship should be a great motivation to him.  \n\nThis could be a good test to find out how much he loves you ...\n\nTry to let him know that you don't appreciate he's not doing much. Ask him about his plans for career and future life. \nTell him that you care and will support him in his decisions. \n\nIf he shows zero interest in these things, he probably isn't  falling for you much, and it's up to you to consider whether to stay with him, or whether it's time to say goodbye.

I am actually having this same problem myself. I love him and I want to be with him, but at the same time I wonder sometimes if he really feels the same way. We basically have 1 of 2 choices..... we can stay and try and talk to them and see if it can work out . or we can just let it go and find someone else. \n\nI choose to stay for a little while longer and try to work on the relationship as long as he is willing to work WITH me to make this work.\nI'm sure you will figure out what is right for you. I wish you luck.

If you love him, then you're not using him. If you juist have him around because he's caring and generous then you are. I don't think he's so afriad of losing you as he is a sweet natured man who loves you and appreciate you enough to treat you like a queen. How lucky you are!!

Ah...this is an age-old question. Not an easy answer on this either. Does he feel the same way about you? Would you be willing to give up all that you have to be with him, knowing you can't go back if things fall apart? I know I'm not answering your question but giving you more questions. This is something you have to follow in your heart.

If you are keeping score its not a relationship worth having. You do what you can with what you have to work with. In some areas my significant other is much needier than I am. In other areas I am much needier than she is. We don't hold back, but give what we have to give and accept what we are offered believing that if there was more to give it would have been given and that what has been given in love should be accepted. I hope that's not confusing.

Maybe he's just feeling insecure about himself? I've been with my boyfriend for 6 years now and we've definitly had our ups and downs..\n\nSounds like you're being very sincere and care about him SO much.......if YOU really love him stick with him make him see that YOU are NOT doing anything other than trying to help him and wanting to love him....Just make sure you follow your heart and if you decide to leave him make sure its for the RIGHT reasons ....
