It can feel like youre the only one putting in effort.
It can feel like you care about your relationship more than the other person cares.
The text is only the beginning.

It can feel like you care about your relationship more than the other person cares.
Does that mean they arent thinking about you when you arent around?
Does that mean theyre perfectly fine going days without hearing from you?

What else are yousupposedto think when youre the only one initiating any kind of interaction?
If they cared, they could show it in the same ways youve been showing it.
They could put in some effort,anyeffort.
When youre always the one sending the first text, the relationship would fall apart without you.
If you didnt text hello in the morning, then you two would go the whole day without speaking.
It feels like the responsibility of the relationship falls entirely on your shoulders.
After all, it feels like your relationship is off balance.
It feels like something is wrong on their end.
And that doesnt seem fair.
In a healthy relationship, you would be putting in the same amount of effort.
In a healthy relationship, you wouldnt feel like youre the only one who gives a damn.
In a healthy relationship, everything would be equal down to who sends the first text.
