If you feel like you give too much and receive too little – don’t be salty about it

When you feel like all you do is give, it’s so easy to be upset when you feel like you aren’t getting enough in return. However, sometimes you might be actually giving TOO much to a relationship, creating an unrealistic expectation for your partner to reciprocate.

I’m not telling you to stay in a relationship where your partner doesn’t give a shit about you, and if they aren’t making the effort then it’s time to walk away. But if you’re constantly showering your partner in presents or expecting 24/7 contact with them, then you need to manage your expectations if you want the same back.

I see a lot of people say “I give so much to this relationship” but it’s superficial. Now is the opportunity to learn what your partner actually values in the relationship so that you’re both on an even playing field.
