A one-sided relationship...

Do you get the feeling that it is only you fighting to improve or maintain the relationship with your partner? That you try to improve yourself to be more happy, understanding or kind in the hopes that the relationship will be better?

Does it feel like your partner takes that for granted and does not make an effort on their part to also contribute in making the relationship more harmonious and stable?

Is it a one-sided relationship?
Is it only you keeping the relationship alive?
Is it only your responsibility that you stay together?
Is it only your responsibility that there is a pleasant atmosphere?

It is common for a relative to a person suffering from addiction to end up in relationships like these. They have the ability to put other people in the centre of their attention and at the same time forego themselves. They may have low self-esteem since before the relationship which makes it hard to put up boundaries or recognize the signal that tells them it has gone too far. Instead, they fight just a little longer.

Is it worth it?
What would a two-sided mutual relationship be worth?
