Of course.

Nothing comes to mind at the moment.
Alias Irrelevante
I don't think I have

Of course...I think everyone has in one way or another.
Tracy,

Ive never been put into that position to have that option.
Talia,

Tallahassee, FL USA
I'm a mother. I've been doing bits and pieces of that for over 16 years now and look forward to continuing for many many years to come.

No. I don't remember ever having to make that choice, unless you count something like having the last piece of pie.
Cathie,

Novi, MI USA
Not that I can remember. However, if you really did it out of your own volition, you might not remember it after a while. The reward of the choice takes precedence over lingering memories of things once longed for.

I give up stuff all the time to make my son happy.

I think anyone who has ever had children or been married has to answer "yes" to this question.
Reba,

Of course. Doesn't everyone?
Jill,

Of course. Every single damn day (not that I'm bitter...)
Keri-Jade,

Yes, and most times I've ended up happier than if I had kept it.

I'm sure I have, more than once. But I don't remember those things. I think even the fact of remembering it would be self-serving, sort of proof to yourself that you can sacrifice your own wants for those of others.

Sure did. My freedom when I got married.
You Me
If I did, I don't remember it. I don't have a lot of wants, but if I really want something, my husband usually see that I get it. I would give up a lot for my husband, if he asked me to, but he doesn't.
Judy,

Easton, KS USA
Probably. But if I did, I'm sure I held a grudge about it.
Karen,

All the time. I'm a Mom.
Janet,

You don't have kids, do you?
