Imagine yourself in a relationship in which you do everything possible to make your significant other happy at all times but when its to return the favor they just dissapoint you. For example: You want to spend time with him/her and to do so you have to do things that you dont feel like doing or don't like. You do these things just to make them happy, but when its for them to make you happy and do something they dont like they just dont even try. What would you do?

Well, they'll get my piece of mind. I'd talk to them about it and tell them that they are being selfish and unfair! And if they don't want to listen, then I'll just would do unto them what they do unto me.. Or just tell them, they do what they want, and I'll do what I do.. We're both then happy.. and obviously, we do need to decide what we can to together and both be happy with it.. If there's nothing we like to do together.. why are we together in the first place, right?

:) I used to be the one on the losing end, and it's frustrating and I'm telling you, it's not worth your while to speak to a wall.. Nothing happens!!

There are often times when the one you love will disappoint you. All you can do is either accept them for who they are or move on. you need to be happy with the person you are first. we can't change who people are or what they do. All we can ry to do is make the one we love see and understand how we are feeling. If they don't choose to meet you halfway, it may be time to choose a new path.

I had imagined ... and I get a bad picture, like clapping with one hand ... I think, I do not expect it. I hope they are around me, who became my friends are human beings can always be shared, both happy and sad and always willing to please others

Hi Absinto, For me, I will communicate my concern to this man and if he insists that he has to decide what he wants, when he wants without taking my feelings in consideration then I am in a wrong relationship. A lot of men think that they can manipulate women and get away with it. If that is the case, I don't think that significant other loves me the way I do him or even worse, I may be the only one in love and he is just basking on the thought that I must be head over heals in love with him. My mother always reminded me that I should love myself more so I could give more love to the man I chose to marry. And she is right. Valuing oneself makes you confident and you will find yourself capable of seeing things in proper perspective. Abusive men exist only if we allow them. Have a nice day!

Well, it happened to me. It was about my extended family and my hubby. My hubby and them can't get on with each other and there was a birthday party in my relatives place and I said to my hubby that we were invited and he said no, we were not coming. It hurt me, cause I felt like I was between two hard rocks that were crushing each other. So, calmly, I told my husband that i do understand how he feels but they are my family too. So, I asked him, Who is going to give to me? Why is it that I keep on giving and I don't get proper treatment in return. He understood me, and we attended the party, from then on, we were able to know my family again and built a relationship that is based in giving and not just receiving. We have to give more chances for a relationship to grow, but if we put a full stop on it, how would we know what it would have been. Relationship is about give and take and if one don't want to give then, there's no direction. Good luck to you.

for me that could a big issue because in a relationship there could an give and take, there should be a equal between each others happiness... that if you really love each other!
