A sad couple. [Photo/eurweb.com] Every creature on earth craves love and attention. We love to be loved. Being nurtured makes one feel important and appreciated. That is why even people who do not want a relationship still find themselves falling in love. But is that all there is in relationships? Satisfying our need to be loved?
You might be focusing too much on taking that you forget to give. If all you do in a relationship is demand, then there is bound to be a problem. If you are feeling this deep need to be taken care of, don't you think that your love feels the same way? The problem in your relationship might be that you demand so much yet give so little. This kind of selfishness is difficult since you do not see what wrong you are doing to the other. It is advised that a relationship be a 50-50 game. I disagree. Everyone should give 100% of what they got. Then it should be reciprocated at 100% too. When both of you give your all, it fills up the gaps in the relationship and your weaknesses seem to 'disappear'. You have to understand that your partner craves that love and attention as much as you do. If you just take and take from them, they will always look deeply flawed. This is because sometimes they are overwhelmed with your demands. It is always you on the spotlight. They are just but your servant who should be wantless and live to do your bidding. Try giving a little more. It may even prove more satisfying to your heart than making endless demands every second.
