I love you but I don't like you

Possibly. I think I do associate "sacrifice"... with selfishness & resentment. That was a common linkage in my dealings with mom, the permanent victim. I should know there are many other contexts and meanings... but I guess that was the one I "read"/"heard" in mud's post.
Since the "old days", I have learned that there is a kind of "doing for others" that comes from a place of love, generosity, giving... opening a place for others. That's a much, much nicer place! And it can be one-way too without any issues... it doesn't require that the other person acknowledge or appreciate the "gift". There are no scorecards. It's bigger than egos and people; relationships.
