So I spent a big chunk of the weekend rereading classic Clex, and although I always enjoy doing that I started wondering about whether these big, romantic sacrifices Clark and Lex end up making for each other in some stories bear any resemblance to real life relationships. Not that they necessarily *should*--that's the joy of fiction--but I did start wondering if I would really make some of the sacrifices they make in many classic stories. So, a poll:

I feel kind of like I wouldn't give a lot for love now :/

The "change genders" question actually is an agreement that dh and I came to once.

We were watching a program about a woman who was once a man, and her wife dumped her when she came to grips with her transgender status. The wife was all, "I still love him, but I can't become a lesbian for him!"

So we discussed it and decided that we'd become gay/lesbian/male/female for each other if that's what it took.

In a consensual, reasoned-out way, of course. Not if the issue came up as "I want a divorce. And I'm gay," or anything like that.

I've never had a True Love/soulmate, so I really couldn't say :o)

If I had a true love/soulmate (which I kind of don't believe exist outside of fiction), presumably they wouldn't want me to change something significant about who I am or make me do something contrary to my nature since, y'know, they'd be my soulmate. :P

Interesting poll. I voted for no sacrifices at all and am clearly EVIL. Or possibly I've just never experienced true love... I'm all about finding love that fits your life. *nods* I am not a romantic in the real world AT ALL. However, in fiction? Bring it on! That's what it's for. *G*

I don't believe that love is about sacrifice or that love can survive with sacrifice.
