I remember, I had a course in developmental psychology about love and relationship, while I remained mainly in memory, that when you are in a relationship begins to create a balance, that these relationships are not of long duration are, because there are times, where one inevitably slips into negative or positive, because circumstances do not run in a straight line. It seemed to me then as now logically, a relationship and partnership, the continuously calculated, when I, 've done for someone how and where, is exhausting and especially not appreciative.
In my own little universe I would also work to friends, often friends and family on the principle “provide” and I get back without immediate settle and offsetting more than enough. It has become my only aware of this issue again, as a mom of a friend of my son said, that they can not return the favor as quickly with a return visit, and I just thought: “Is it the same!” Or not? Also a friend of mine, whose daughter goes with my in ballet, said, now you come back to me, because we were so often lately with you anyway … I know, no one wants to remain someone owe, take advantage of someone, only take, … But I'm not assuming, because I think, that we no longer have it is necessary, exploit someone, because we are glad, that we have friends and people around us, who are there, if it is necessary to provide.
And of course I was already exploited, but these people are just that entertaining companion, because they remove themselves from friendships and their possibilities.
