There is always that one person in a relationship who seems to do everything. They send the first message. They remember birthdays. They ask, "Did you eat?" They notice when something is wrong, even when the other person says nothing. When there is a fight, they are often the first ones trying to fix it. At first, they may not mind. They are happy just knowing they can make the person they love feel better. But after months or years of doing this, something can change. They start noticing that if they stop making the effort, the relationship becomes quiet. And that can hurt more than any argument.
