what am I thinking about right now?

"Am I a giver, a matcher or a taker in a romantic relationship?"


Definitely a giver!

So, what are the drawbacks?

1. I can end up being burned out & exhausted from continuously giving if I do not receive the support I need from the relationship.

2. I will never be truly happy unless my lover supports me as I support him.  Because I will eventually feel worn out & perhaps even leave.

3. I deserve to receive.  But I have spent so much time being a "giver" that I do not really know what it means to be a taker.

I don't mind to "invest" a little more in the relationship.  However, that shouldn't be the norm.  Both should commit themselves equally in the relationship.  There must be reciprocity.
