Bottom line, stop sacrificing yourself to appease others. When it's true love it will never require you to lose your identity and become the person you love. Stop being angry for letting yourself bend over backward for someone else. People only do what we allow them to do. Take responsibility for your misery when it's all said and done. Yes it's easier to blame someone else when we are hurting but lies will not heal the heart, it only masks the problem which allows it to continue on with the next person. Do not become bitter with love or compromise or even sacrifice with the person who would be willing to do the same for you. Being bitter will make you miss out on that one special person who was meant for you all alone. KNOW your self- worth, because once you establish that initially, you probably would never jump through hoops for anyone ever again. Love yourself, spend time getting to know the real you and who you are and what you like. You'd be surprised to discover all the wonderful things about yourself you never knew, and you will never settle again for anyone undeserving.

Wow! I agree with you 99.9%. Self-Love is vital before you can accept and or give love true to another. I don't believe love is a feeling; it is something you know. Often times we seek that feeling of being in love which ultimately leads to disappointment and a loss of self. However, once we know ourselves and love who we are nothing can diminish that level of self-worth, for we own it.
There is a difference in "needing" someone in your life versus the "desire" to have a companion. When you need, you will "jump through hoops" without a safety net for your sense of self-worth is dependent upon the actions and reactions of the other individual; you are seeking approval. However, when you desire to share with another, you elect to invite them into what has already been established. You know yourself, your needs, your desires, what you will accept and what you will not accept. You know the sacrifices you are willing to make and if there are demands that do not fall within those boundaries you can walk away without regret.
Bottom line:
Love yourself and treasure the treasure that treasures you...for you
