I would say 90%. I use to give all a 100 % but i always end up hurt and broken hearted. But when I started to give a little reservation I became much happier and as well as my fiance, He doesnt feel being controlled,I am not possessive anymore. I tend to become possessive if i love too much.

Although it may sound great to be giving your all to your partner to show how much you love him/her, I think that we should be really keeping a little for ourselves. I am the type of person that would give everything to my partner and not think of myself. But I never got possessive over him. The downside is if things get bad between us, I end up really terrible as if the world has crumbled and it gives me hard time to move on.

when it comes to love i always give my best shot and If it doesn't work I don't regret it because I give my best in the relationship. For us to achieve what we want we have to give our 100% so as in the field of love as well.

I do the same thing, too. It even comes to a point that I could be really not thinking what is left for me or what will happen after all that I have given. I guess, if we really love someone, we just want to assure the person that we love him/her no matter what.

To me in order to have a full loving and faithful relationship each person involved must give 110% percent. 
I say this because in order to keep the relationship thriving and fulfilling it is a continual process to continue to better it along the way.

Hi! I think that a person really needs to give all that he can offer just to prove his love is true, but still leaving something for himself. I just realized that when a person seem to be giving his all to his partner, the hurt/pain that comes after is so deep that becomes very unbearable and makes it hard for them to move on.

It is important that we will give our best to the ones we love, however, before doing so, we must assure ourselves that we also love ourselves more because, how can we give something that we don't have? It is not being selfish that we leave something for ourselves because it is where we will get the strength and determination to keep a relationship going.

I am so sorry for replying sooo late. I guess I have forgotten that I even made this discussion 3 years ago. I have just been active again a few months back. Anyway, thanks for sharing your views.

Quantitavely, I can not answer you that but qualitatively YES. Loving someone is like making an extension of yourself. But only by showing and giving what your love one deserved to receive in return. Its not giving your whole because your whole can be not enough.

Wow! I think that you have just said it right! The amount of love, care and time you spent could not be really measured. The quality is most important.
