Think about your own relationship. Would you say it is a 50-50 give and take relationship? If it is not, then make the necessary changes to either save your relationship or save your own individuality. Save your relationship now by learning how to maintain your relationship at a optimum level of give and take.
First, let me tell you the truth. It is impossible to say whether your partnership is definitively equal because it is all about your perception. As such, to succeed in saving your relationship, you need to be objective.
Only you can be the judge of how much you are contributing or how much your partner is contributing to the relationship.
We can often measure sacrifice towards a relationship in terms of money foregone but that is not really helpful. You should never use money as a form of measure of love.
Likewise the really important rewards of being in a relationship can only be assessed by the individuals concerned.
When the relationship has equity of give and take, both your partner and yourself will feel being loved. There are no considerations about why your partner is giving you less attention than you have given him/her.
Growing resentment will be felt if there is an imbalance of give and take. Thoughts about your contribution is not acknowledged and appreciated by your partner will emerged.
Unfortunately, many relationships begin in imbalance of sacrifice and continue until the sacrificing partner decides that enough is enough.
Some people are more inclined to sacrifice than others, while other people are more inclined to take continuously in their self interest. Thus, never let your relationship be in such situation.
Sacrifice of hobbies, interests and emotional ties are inevitable on both sides of a relationship. We all give up other relationships toward the special one. Both partners have to work to find ways to relate to one another and grow within that relationship.
A balance can only be strike when couples communicate frequently about things they have done for each other and show appreciation for what their partners have done for them.
Would you say you are a giver or a taker? Would you say your partner is a taker or a giver? If you feel you are a giver and you are not being given to in equal measure, you need to save your relationship by raising this fundamental issue with your partner.
