I learned to love someone with all my life but there came a point when I got tired, not of loving but of sacrificing all that I have. Then a thought came to my mind. I have given everything but have received nothing but pain and tears in return. Is his enough to prove that I really love that person? Or is it a sign telling me to stop sacrificing and learn to love myself a little more? If you are in this situation, what you gonna do?

I think it will call a lot if you still loving them without asking them to also love you back but it will be really hard to love someone for a long time if they don't love you so i think my opinion will be, you need to start to move on and there is someone that will much appreciate you as their lover. If you feel that he will not love you anymore its time for you to set it free.

if I be you and I have tired to sacrifice all that I have, then I will ask myself "is it true he is to me". with all the consideration I can make a decision. If indeed he is not for me then I should end even if it hurt.

For me love is not about sacrificing, more like compromising and sharing. So for me to be in love with someone they have to reciprocate just as much as I would. Not doing so would certainly damper the relationship as my thinking is that when I am with someone it is to better each other not weigh one or the other down. So if I were in that type of situation I would seriously consider if that is where I truly want to be.

To love is to cease to live for you, to make all human feelings, fear, hope,pain, joy, pleasure is not dependent than the one being, is to immerse yourself in the infinite limit of not finding any feeling, your worship life of a human being so that you do not live and not think about than to make her happy, to cast the greatness in humiliation,to find solace in tears, grieving,suffering, pleasure and pain in pleasure,that is to meet itself all contradictions. For a man to love another is perhaps the most difficult task was entrusted to us, the ultimate task, the final exam, work for which all others are only a prelude.

Some say that when you love, don't give all yourself to that person. So if ever you part ways, you will still have left for yourself. You should know when to quit loving someone especially when that person doesn't know how to appreciate all the sacrifices you've made for her/him. Maybe that person doesn't feel any love for you so better move on.

Love needs sacrifice and true love is worth sacrifice. You love that person and you sacrificed so much for that love, but that person doesn't treasure you. It's his/her lose. Find a person who treasures you, who takes your sacrifice as love.

We should not have to sacrifice all that we have and all that we are for the sake of love. Sometimes the heart is the sacrifice we make for love. Love and sacriifce can go hand in hand or they be as far apart as night and day.
