You guys are shameless, and your child support and alimony payments are going to be really high... :(

I gave up my dream of attending a superb university for history (Laurier) that's far away for a decent school close to my g/f (McMaster). Not a huge sacrifice. And she knows that I won't sacrifice who I am to be with her. I am still me.

Elisha Cuthbert is available? All I'd have to give up is the time and effort it takes in order for her to get one glance at me and she's hooked.

TV voice: What would you do for a Klondike bar? Would you stand on one leg?
Guy on TV: Sure.
TV voice: Would you act like a monkey?

TV voice: Would you... would you kill a man?

I have the perfect girl.

What have I given up? I've had to move 2000 miles away from her to make a better life for us and her 2 kids. One day the court battles will finally end, and her stupid deadbeat ex-husband will allow her to change the visitation and let her leave the state and come back to me.

Haven't seen her since early Sept., and probably won't again til late January. It's gonna be a lonely holiday season for me. <sigh>.

What if it wasn't a case of her asking? Hard as it may be to believe, there are some outside circumstances, you know. What if it meant moving to a third-world country because she couldn't get residency? What if it meant your family rejecting you? What if there was some tangle that cost you your job and your career in whatever industry you work in?

If someone is intent on living in the country he was born in, it's pretty unlikely that his "perfect girl" wouldn't be able to live in that country with him. The "perfect woman" who makes you move to Somalia is not a perfect woman. Similarly, the perfect woman is one that your family adores, and one that helps you progress in your carreer. Really if someone is actually your perfect girl then the only thing she can make you give up is things you didn't like about yourself in the first place, maybe laziness or smoking or something, but if a girl causes you to give up something you love, then she's not perfect - she'd have to not cause you to lose something you love to be perfect.

Absolutely nothing. If you can't have everything you want with that person, then they're not your perfect person.

I have my perfect woman, and get everything I want along with her. And I'm happy.

Because he dreamed it up and decided I needed to give something up? Nothing.

But if there was a good reason, such as an outside circumstance... I would give my career, my transportation, all of my computer equipment, all of my other possessions (save those that I must have (such as a change of clothes or two))... really, there is very little that I would not give up.

I don't think that I'd be willing to leave my standard of living (read: I would probably not move to a third-world country, where poverty rules), even though I would change things about my life -- "myself -- if needed.
