Men.. Does It Feel Like You’re Always The One Trying? #relationshipadvice #datingadvice #datingtips

Men, have you ever felt the weight of being the only one putting in effort?

When you’re always the one planning, initiating, and putting in effort, it can start to feel heavy. That weight doesn’t just disappear — it compounds over time, slowly wearing you down and affecting your mental health.

It’s natural to want to protect yourself from that kind of exhaustion. But if you care about the relationship and want it to work, the answer isn’t to shut down or hold in your frustration. Contempt that stays bottled up will eventually find a way out — and it’s rarely gentle when it does.

Instead, take a step back and reflect. Where are the gaps? What feels off-balance? What do you need that you’re not getting — and how can you communicate that clearly and calmly?

Healthy relationships require awareness from both people. Learn about yourself, your needs, and your partner’s. The goal isn’t to keep score — it’s to understand what’s missing and work together to fill it.
