Investing Far More Than Your Partner and Hoping They'll Appreciate It Someday

Asymmetric effort doesn't build gratitude -- it builds expectation. When you consistently give 90% and your partner gives 10%, you're not teaching them generosity; you're training them to expect your over-investment as the baseline. The more you compensate for their lack of effort, the less they need to try. Love should be a mutual investment, not a one-person savings account.
The point
Consistently over-investing in a relationship doesn't earn appreciation -- it becomes the expected minimum.
