Thinking on this further, I can think of examples where a male protagonist has to make most of the sacrifices, but if it's not for the sake of kids, it tends to be an It's A Wonderful Life type of situation where something very drastic happens, e.g. someone dies or gets cancer. Not only is the character more or less forced by tragedy to make sacrifices, but he gets treated like a noble martyr for doing so. The narratives where a woman gives up something that was significant in her life in favor of love usually don't make her into a saint for it. Rather, either her sacrifices will be glossed over as no great loss or she will be portrayed as someone who needed to learn a lesson.

Other than 30 Rock, I'm not familiar with the examples given here (I mean, I know Ed Stark got his head chopped off, but I don't know the context), but it's good to know there are exceptions. 30 Rock is a good example, because it's a case where the decision of who gives up what was a practical one based on what made sense for them as a family and what would make them happiest. If the genders were flipped, it wouldn't be a problem because the chatacters actually discussed the issue rather than just following cultural expectations.
