In a relationship, do you expect your partner to meet all your needs?

Would you retaliate, even if you knew they were doing their best?

Would you be upset because they were focused on healing from major losses, healing from cancer/surgeries and they couldn't give to you endlessly because they needed something for themselves and their child?

And because you couldn't have everything you wanted, you just ditch them? Avoid solutions? Push blame?

Does this sound like complete immaturity to you?

I would hope my partner would meet my needs, if she couldn't I would hope she would talk to me. So I could explain what I needed and she could tell me what she needs. If we can't talk and listen to each other, than why even be together?

In a relationship I treat my partner how I want to be treated.

@Bang5luts and what if she needed time to work on things you couldn't help with? What if she was depleted and doing her best? Would you appreciate what she gave, or would you ditch her because she couldn't give more?

@MarbleMarvel I would be there for her. Give her time if she needed it, be supportive, loving and understanding. All I would ask is for open honest communication.

@MarbleMarvel I'm not perfect, but I put the effort in because of the mistakes I've made in the past.
