Old woman perfume irritates my lungs.
Would you give it up if your man was allergic?


This is a reasonable request.

As for giving up things, as most others have said, it depends on what I'm being asked to give up and why. A pet? Absolutely not.



What if he was allergic to cats, like me?

But if I cared that much for him, stuff shouldn't come into as long as I had him and was happy. Things are replaceable, if he's the one then he's not replaceable. Anything to keep him

It would depend upon the circumstances...

In a former relationship, I was planning to move to Hawaii. I was prepared to give up everything nonessential due to the high cost of shipping. It was my choice and It is just stuff.

I can't imagine being asked to give up anything though...and I'd never ask him to give up anything either ... although that supersize leather recliner with the sports logo stitched in the back with the built in beer cooler would definitely not be going in the livingroom! laugh We'd be building the most secluded kick-@$$ man cave ever! bigsmile

So...you didn't go? Hawaii, huh? Would you mind if I take a crack at him? :laughing:

If the only way to get the BIG TV in the living room is to accept the man chair...it can stay as far as I'm concerned. That is, as long as he does talk during the game. I would think a grown man can remember what he was going to say until the commercial! grumble



:tongue: laugh flowerforyou

Question like that is what goes through my mind occasionally. For instance if you'd had to relocate to be with a partner permanently. Let's say it's easier for you to change environment/job/house etc. than it is for him. Or maybe he lives in another country.

I would give up my things. Not just make up and clothes, I'd rather leave those behind and buy new ones, and instead take some items that are very dear to me and cannot be replaced.
But yes, I would, but only if I was absolutely convinced it's THE relationship. I wouldn't think lightly about it.
I've moved house a great many times, lived in other countries too, so sort of know what it feels like to leave your stuff behind.
I've had to make a similar decision some 11 years ago, must admit I was too hasty, underestimated the impact. So lot would depend on the man, the commitment he's made/making and the relationship. Like I said, not something to think lightly about. Yes it's "just" material that can be replaced, but the things you've gathered around you throughout life are there for a reason, they have a purpose. They make you feel comfy, at home, at ease. They also reflect who you are. It's more than 'just' stuff.
My experience ...

If I gave it up, would I be able to buy new stuff??


I don't see why not. If it was possible I would imagine you would both strive to regain the life you prefer...unless they were conflicting and then one or both would have to decide how far they would be willing to compromise.

Maybe you will never have 25 pairs of shoes again...or maybe you will have to move into a larger home to accommodate 2,000.

The spirit of the question is more along the lines...does it matter that much to you? If you want a relationship, which is more important to you? Your lifestyle or preserving the relationship you want?




I would certainly miss my clothes, shoes, handbags, fragrances, and all of my cosmetics... (I don't care about the other stuff...lol) but in all honesty... YES... I could leave everything behind for TRUE LOVE.

I like this answer very much. You can tell you've spent some time thinking on it. flowerforyou

If I met someone I loved would I give up everything but a suitcase full of clothes? This is an easy one for me..NO, I just bought all new furniture and new tv's. I will not give up my home, and relocate EVER again...this time the man will be doing the moving!!

That should be something that comes up immediately. I am not giving up my pet because a guy failed to tell me about being allergic.
