It Was Fun While It Lasted

We give so much...

In relationships why is it that women tend to give so much and men tend to just take without the consideration of giving back?

I am a giver.
If I have it, I don't mind giving it to someone in need.
If you're hungry and I have food enough for two, I'll share.
If you need a ride and I'm going that direction, no problem.

But why is it that the one person I had a "relationship" with continued to take without considering to give??

I think that when we're givers, we want to give to change a person's view. We want to be that person in our "relationship" that when he calls and needs, we can be the one that he depends on. And in return, he'll see that we are the ones that he should be with. But at the end of the day, through all that you gave to him, he still can't see that you're a good woman and that you want him to be with you.... But somewhere down the line, the overwhelming giving has to stop, and he has to make a decision. I wouldn't say give him an ultimatum... I would just want him to reach a general consensus of whether I'm who he wants or if it was just while it lasted....
