Does your relationship feel like it’s entirely one sided? Maybe it seems like you’re doing all the emotional labor for your partner, but they don’t show up to support you in the same way. Or, you may be one of those couples who don’t split the chores and duties of your lives and households equally.

That can get exhausting, and it won’t be long until the one carrying all the pressure gives out. You can’t carry those burdens forever. Make sure you act before you’re stuck forever in an unequal partnership you can’t escape.

The best ways to deal with a one-sided relationship.

If you’re tired of being in a one-sided relationship, then you need to take steps now to get what you want (and need). That won’t happen by osmosis, though, and it won’t happen by magic, either. You’ve got to be radically honest with yourself, radically honest with your partner, and prepared to act in the name of those things which can’t be denied.

Be radically honest with yourself
