Imbalanced relationship drama
Ever felt like you're always the one putting in way more effort in your relationship? Like it's not even close to being balanced?
I think of this as a relationnal imbalance, where there's just no give and take. One person is doing all the heavy lifting while the other isn't pitching in at all. This can really mess with things adn needs fixing, but how you handle it depends on each specific couple.
One big risk here is that the overworked partner ends up super stressed out, trying to keep everything afloat. It's not just annoying-it can seriously hurt them emotionally and even push the relationship towards breaking point because of burnout.
