my husband is always telling me about how he will do anything for me and i used to wonder if there was anything he wouldn't do. but recently he has proven that there are no limits to this (or at least virually no limits). i know alot of people also say this, but i don't know if they mean it. so i would like to know, what are your limitations on "anything"?

I would do anything except going to prison on my lover's behalf. It would be sad. But I mean it.

What I would do for love is that I would do my best to make my significant other to be happy, and be the best woman in the world. What I won't do for love just I try my best not to hurt her, or make her suffer. That is what I won't do. I meant that I can't guarantee anything on the future, but I would do my best to make words come true.

First I told my guy I would do Almost anything! the three things I will never do are marry for love , have a child or stay with a guy who hits me. my guy understands. I'm so lucky, I thought that I would find the One and he would Need to marry me , and I was planning to let him go get married. But... My guy understands! And that goes for children too. I wouldn't stand in his way of having children. If he Wanted them that badly , I would let him go have kids with someone else.

I now know that I should do everything for myself, never for anyone else. So now, my happiness is my limit.

Well my current husband just cheated on me and lied about it..... My limitation is I cannot forget what he has done.... will not forget what he has done.... would never consider taking him back under any circumstances..... The trust has been crushed and is gone and it can never be regained in my eyes.... I loved him and trusted him and he took advantage of that...

i can understand that. that is a really big deal. i can see why you would not want to continue a relationship like that just because you love(d) him. he was directly hurting you so i can see why you cant forgive him. i hope things get better for you though :)

When i think of this question, i wud first hav to think. But now that i think about it... I don't think "anything" is ever meant literally. I believe it's like how people always say "I love you" and they say it sooo much that they soon start ssaying it out of habit not out of their actual heart. And i believe the same concept applies for the term " anything.

that is a very smart way of looking at the question. and i agree with you. i really don't think the vast majority of people who say that mean it...they just say it because it sounds good to the other person, especially if the other person said it first. then they feel obligated to say it back. it's the same way with saying you love somebody

that makes sense. if people are asking you to pretty much jump through hoops for them, then i don't think it is right. i agree that there should be limits on what people should ask of their partner. but as far as the partner just doing it because out of the kindness (and love) of their heart, i think that is ok.

My limitations would be what I fail to do in what I do not expressly say. Being short of political tongue, marvel, I, with envy when I hear hear one promise the wide spectrum to a doubting wife. I can't. The reason why when I promise myself to buy a rose for a loved one and failed, I feel so sheepish and foolish, the limitation that I scratch my head like a schoolboy discovered doing a prank.

I would not force her to love me back if she fells out of love with me. Loving is a good thing. Some would even say that it is the only thing that matters most in life. Sad thing is, at times, love for someone or should I say the commitment to keep on loving some one is not forever. Whether we like it or not, there will come a point for some to have a new love even within marriage. The choice to stay married or not is a big decision to make and sadly some would choose to leave and enter a new beginning. This beginning is a terrible ending for the other. I would say that it is tragic but it happens. It is a tough thing to take in but love is two sided I believe. I think it would be not fair if only one is loving. Love is truly complicated.

Well, I would not kill when someone I love asks me to. Maybe if I am trying to protect them but as a favor, no chance in hell. Also, I won't leave them or abandon them even if they as to. Not unless I know that they would not want to be with me anymore. I guess you're husband loves you so much. Good for you.
