...I...AM...THERE. I refuse to relinquish my spirit however much I may seem to cower from the pecking. It's a give and take situation. She gives and I take.  |

I agree with Base and Becky, a relationship won't last if you want to control the other person. I almost divorced my hubby over something like this. He stopped trying to be my daddy when I told him if he didn't I would stop being his wife. He quit his evil ways, lol. We worked it out. I firmly believe a relationship should be built on respect and trust. You cannot really respect or trust someone if all you do is try to control them....................  |

It depends on what it would be that i had to give up..if it was friends and family..or uhm poetry..or a dream of mine i'd tell him to get lost..hit the road..If it means a great deal to me..then he'd have to go. you shouldn't give anything up that means everything to you for a person! :) Dolphinprincess  |

I'm sorry but, I think your friend is being to controlling and that only leads to more trouble. Everyone has a right to go out and have fun. Teh fun doesn't stop when, your married so, why should it if, you are just boyfriend/girlfriend. And, the shoe can go on the othedr foot. Would she like it if, he told her she couldn't see her friends, family, or only do things with him? I think not. I'm sorry for being blunt and saying if, she continues to control him then, trouble is sure to follow!!  |

Well, it depends. I would have to consider my significant others feelings and point of view and if I thought it was valid then I would give my friends up. If I thought he was just being immature and possesive then I would give him up. But I would try a compromise first. *hugs*  |

I can understand the giving up part but there has to be compromise in a relationship. One can't go into it thinking that they're going to change someone or ask them to give up their life as they've come to know it. That's just being extremely selfish!...jbdoe  |

well friends and last forever... if he gives up his friends for her and then they break up.. his friends wont want him around anymore.."hey you never wanted to be with us and do things with us.. why should we do things with you now that you dont have a girlfriend??" thats what he will get.. so if they cant work something out like fridays he goes with his his girlfriend and saturdays he kicks around with his friends or something better than he does nothing but be with her its not gonna last and everything will be screwed up worse than it is now. - supersponger |

I'd give up all of my materialistic belongings for someone close to me. But, I would never give up my beliefs or friends. A person who asks you to do things like that is insecure. That's their problem, no one elses. *hugs*  |

wouldn't dream of dictating to anyone abt what they are & not gonna do while w/me...things are bad when one person is someone's total, complete, entire world-- worse if the sentiment is not 100% returned --& your friend isn't gonna keep anyone by hanging on so tight they can't breathe. btdt-- never again. cheers,  |

Well, I think you have to compromise to share your life with someone, but give up everything? I would hope that the person is worth it... ~Chandira |
