I want to make it clear: both men and women have this responsibility. If someone isn’t meeting your standards for how you want to be treated in a relationship, you need to speak up and make your feelings known. Why would you stay with someone who isn’t what you want?
You may not even realize it, but being neutral and generally apathetic in a relationship can be hurtful. It may not be on purpose, but not feeling wanted can often be the same as feeling unwanted.
Hold higher standards for yourself. If someone is great in the first few months of your relationship, but slowly stops doing what you loved about them, they haven’t changed; they’ve just revealed themselves to you.
If you don’t put in the effort to make your partner feel special every day, you lose your right to complain when someone else does. Life is too short to waste your time with people who don’t appreciate you.
