You are always aware of every single thing that yo do to make a relationship work. Quite often, it is something little, like flushing the toilet that she forgot to flush and not saying anything to embarrass her. Or picking up his dirty socks in the middle of the bedroom floor - for the 348th time. Or keeping your mouth shut when they said something upsetting but it wasn't worth getting into a argument.
You are aware of the obvious things that your partner does, and the things that they told you about, but you are aware of all the times he flushed the toilet that you forgot to flush, or she picked up your socks again, or he "bit his tongue" and remained silent when you said something about his mother.
So, if you compare all the effort that you make to all of the effort that you know your partner expended, it always looks like you contributed more. But that is not necessarily true. . . and he answer to that question is even important.
There are times when a relationship can't be 50/50. Maybe her mother died yesterday, or maybe you are under some extraordinary stress at work. Or maybe she's just being lazy for a few days but you were lazy for a few days last month.
If a relationship turns into an accounting and review of the balance sheet, where is the love? The questions that are important are:
1. Am I getting my important needs met in this relationship?
2. Am I paying an extraordinary price to get my needs met?
If you are getting your needs met and the price isn't exorbitant, shouldn't you be happy?
Saying this from a completely unbiased stand point... yes
I think it's the opposite. Women give too much for too little, add to that having kids , losing their body and health because of it.
Yes, that is true. Women are seen as the prize and men are expected to pursue women an impress and pay for them. That is the sexism against me that rarely gets discussed or acknowledged by women.
Its true in almost all cases
depends on the relationship
