thats good practical advice there!


anyway ,i detest the word 'sacrifice'
if thats the angle im going into a relationship with then i can only imagine the crap that lies ahead.
not for what he would do to me but in the name of the 'huge -life-altering-sacrifice i made' -what all "I" would be subjecting him to!
being a victim is not a good place to start.
