I have the view that if a partner really likes/loves her/his love interest, they would not want that person to make sacrifices for them. However, some people may think the opposite, that if a person really likes/loves their partner or love interest, they WOULD make sacrifices for them. Then that person would think that if an actual or potential partner DIDN"T make such sacrifices, they weren't really interested or in love.
If, however, I view the expectation of sacrifices as a deficiency of love, how could I ever have a relationship with someone who expected sacrifices? Are these two incompatible beliefs in love or am I short-sighted in some way here? I think people who prove love by sacrifice are possibly irreconcilably alienated from people who prove love by acceptance and non-expectation of sacrifice.
