Their Lack of Effort Was Never a Sign to Give More

For a long time, when I was not getting back what I needed in a relationship, I thought the problem was me.I thought maybe I had not done enough.So I gave more.I paid more attention. I remembered more. I showed up more. I tried harder.And what came back?A trickle.That is the part I had to learn.Someone giving you less is not automatically a sign that you should start giving more.Sometimes it is simply showing you that the relationship is not reciprocal.I could remember your allergies, your preferences, the things you liked and disliked.But then you bring me red roses when I like pink roses.And no, the issue is not really the roses.The issue is whether you ever took the time to learn me the way I learned you.Because eventually, giving more does not fix the imbalance.It just teaches you how to survive inside it.I do not want tug-of-war anymore.I want reciprocity.#Reciprocity #Overgiving #Relationships #RelationshipLessons #HealthyRelationships #PersonalGrowth #ParadigmShiftsPodcastNetwork
