It’s OK to give a lot more than I get. If I love someone, I’m responsible for their happiness. Good, loving people are supposed to make the other person happy. If I do what I really want to do, the other person will see me as selfish. Getting rejected is the worst thing that could happen to me. If no one else will fix the problem, it’s up to me. I never win with this person. The other person is smarter or stronger than I am. It won’t kill me to do this, because they really need me. Their needs and feelings are more important than mine.
