This might sound harsh but if a relationship is not 50/50 then it's not a relationship. It's a co-dependency and that's not always healthy. You don't have to explain anything to me or to anybody else. You only need to ask yourself is this fair.
That’s fair enough. The situation doesn’t always allow it to be 50/50. I also do allow for some give and take because it isn’t always ideal to have it 50/50 when it can’t be that way.
What’s a co-dependency?
excessive emotional or psychological reliance on a partner, typically one who requires support on account of an illness or addiction. "the tie that binds most of us together in this trap called co-dependency"
Oh ok thanks for the insight.
I'm not going to tell you how to co-ordinate your relationship because it's none of my business but I will say that relationships are like tag teams. You and your partner are on the same team but if it doesn't seem that way then you've got to ask yourself why.
