I think everyone knows the expression “what you put in, is what you get out”. And generally this is true – if you work hard you should be rewarded and so on. But what happens when you invest, work hard, and bend over backwards in a relationship and the other person doesn’t come to the party quite as much as you do?
If one person in the relationship doesn’t care as much, believes less in it, doesn’t give the relationship as much time, attention or respect then that relationship probably won’t last long. Someone will get hurt especially when one of the people thinks there is an equal investment
The strongest, most enduring and happiest relationships come about when the investment is equal from both sides.
Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind. "Pooh!" he whispered. "
Yes, Piglet?" "Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's paw.
"I just wanted to be sure of you."
~A.A. Milne
