Sacraficing everything is not the way to go - - because it means you will lose part of yourself... Relationships are about give and take.... and even compromise... If one person's doing all the sacraficing - -eventually they will get fed up and the relationship suffers.
The past, should be irrelevant, however, it often does have a lot of bearing on who that person is today, so that past can't be discounted... Even more so if that past contains offspring.
