I think is x+y=100. Some days I can only give 30% so you’re going to have to pick up that extra 70%. And Vice versa. And some days, we will both be running on 30% and we need to find ways to gather that extra 40%. I don’t think we always need to be on the same energy and effort level and def not always 100%
My thing is some people I know treat dating as a trade, or transactional and Im not a fan of it. He/she shouldn’t have to do something first, or you shouldn’t do something expecting a favor in return unless its necessary yk? Why dont we give our partners the world because we love them lol.
I think you should give what you are able to. Sometimes that can’t be your all because there’s other things in each others lives that are important too. I don’t want the man I’m with to give his all to me while I’m having to focus on mental health stuff for a time..while he’s not seeing his friends much. It’s about finding balance that works for the both of you.
I agree! I don’t really trust people that view relationships like that. I’m giving all that I can and I trust that my partner will do the same. If at times they have to give less, that’s okay because I know that they love me and have their reasons, such as self-care or focusing on some deadlines with work, etc.
