You've been the one holding it together.
The one who reaches out.
The one who resolves the conflict.
The one who keeps the connection alive.
But you're tired of being the only one rowing the boat.
Relationships cannot be sustained by one person's effort.
Eventually, the imbalance becomes unsustainable.
And the question you must answer is not
"Can I try harder?"
It's "Is this person matching my effort?"
This week, match effort with effort.
Give what you receive.
If they step back, let the distance be theirs to close.
You are not responsible for carrying what should be shared.
And a relationship that requires you to do all the work
is not a relationship. It's a duty.
