Do you ever feel like your the only one putting your all in a relationship? I am talking past and present.. Is there ever a time you think to yourself..(what the heck) When is enough a enough? Or do you just keep doing it ? I believe there is a big yellow light flashing saying.. CAUTION !!!! I have sat by and watched a friend put all this effort in dating this guy and it is always a one way street.. Yea! he says all the right stuff but I never see him putting any actions in it...I just remain quiet and know quietly that this is a one sided relationship...What about you?

silence is the best thing when it comes to friends, except if they ask your advice.

We humans love our habits, even when they do not produce any positive results.

Change is scary. Suggest she join Connecting Singles and read the international forums for a suggest or two and build some on-line friendships along the way. You know we will cswelcome

You want her to be in therapy?


As for the OP, a relationship is equal. If one starts to only give it a small percentage, then in their eyes, it's lost the sparkle for them.

It's either all or nothing from me.

Should be equal. If one more a taker than the other I would be questioning the relationship. But that is me. If this person continues this way what do you have?

Sounds one sided to me...doormat comes to mind when the other is allowed to walk on someone for far too long.

Actions speak louder than words .. anyone can flap their gums and give out what they think the other wants to hear blah blah

Maybe she's selling herself short and falling into the trap of thinking there's more to the relationship than there really is.

But then again, your perceptions may be different to what's really going on there and maybe what's going on there works for them wine

.

I put an 100% effort in a relationship, and I mean it. But I would like to see the same thing from my partner. If there is non, I usually quit.

That's me .

The last relationship that I had, not only the yellow light went on, but also the red lightgrin

At this stage of my life I wouldn't settle for second best, I give everything when I'm in a relationship..heart, body and soul, and would expect the same returned( I can be gushy and show affection easily, don't expect that) but the same level of comittment, yes..

Putting ‘your all’ into a relationship can be similar to playing baseball. uh oh

I’m not sure what your idea of ‘giving it your all’ is but your friends present situation sounds a bit like unrequited love to me. Regardless, and in my opinion, giving our all doesn't mean we have to give up ourselves.

Instead, ‘giving it your all,’ for me, means to respect and reciprocate shared interests and commitments. It doesn’t mean always present, but definitely being available. it is stability, and similar to making a sacrifice fly in baseball.



… go Tigers in ’14 yay

Your friend sounds like a woman in love. Maybe this guy just has more important priorities than her(which will be one reason why she loves him so). But if(IF!)he's really that bad then slyly belittle the guy, sow those seeds of doubt with subtlety, never explicitly state that you don't like him or that you think that she should find someone else because, like a small, immature and poorly developed child, she will act in absolute contrary to your advice.

Note: Belittling him requires you to be more charismatic/interesting than him for this to work, as you're a woman I expect this not to be the case, but if you have a beneficent alpha male amongst your social circle then maybe he can more aptly perform the task of poisoning your friends relationship.
