However there are things that you can never sacrifice even for your significant other here are 7 of them.

Your happiness & inner peace

Happiness & inner peace is the ultimate goal for all of us. If we are not happy being with someone, or we are in a relationship which is not fulfilling, or we feel something big is missing, then it’s time to rethink.

Your family & other social support system

This is a real problem, with most of the relationships. After marriage some people break all bonds with their friends and even families. While after marriage specially, during the honeymoon period, couples or one of the partners goes underground, so as to explore each other, settle down & adjust to the new setup. But this happens generally for an initial couple of months, after which normal social life resumes.

Your personal space

We all have three-dimension access to our lives- Public, Personal and Private. While public life refers to your social interactions with the outside world, personal life has to do with your family, partner & selected few which is protected from your public life. The third dimension is private life which refers to your own exclusive space that you may want to keep just for yourself. Your private life is protected from both- your public and personal life.

Your self-worth

You should take pride in yourself and have a positive self-worth. No one shall be allowed to puncture your self-respect or self-esteem.

Your dreams & interests

Every person has some dreams & interests which keep them motivated and give a reason to keep moving forward in life. If your dreams, interests or hobbies are not harmful, or illegal or detrimental to your personal life, your partner should be able to help you chase those dreams rather than be an impediment to your future.

Your desire to explore

If you are adventurous, tenacious seeker or love trying new things, your partner should be able to respect and encourage you to take risks, explore new territories, be adventurous and grow as a person.

Yourself

Never change yourself for anyone, not even your significant half. Your partner chose you for what you are. If he or she expects you to change later in life, alter your personality & let go of your authentic self, then it’s time to rethink your relationship.

Did your partner ask you to sacrifice any of the above for saving your marriage?
