Giving and Taking

I have been with my fiance for almost 2 years now and I'm not sure about the relationship. At first I thought he needed to grow up and learn how to take care of himself. Now I am just starting to see that he is not making any changes and it's time to deal with it or move on. I am more of a giving person and he just keeps taking. I am at his side as soon as he needs me but he can't do the same for me. Do these relationships work out ever?

This will work out only if you are able to give and never empty yourself. I made it through six years of marriage before we finnally parted ways. If you truly love him talk to him about it. If he truly loves you he will give more of himself to you. If he does not, he will continue on the way he is. If that be the case, move on now...it will save you the heartache later.

Only you can tell yourself if this is going to work. Do you love him enough to deal with this? Once you marry him, you are saying you accept him as he is. so, please make sure you work this issues out before you walk down the aisle. Have you talked about this with him? If you are marrying him, then it is important you have an open relationship, where you feel you can talk about these things. I wish you all the best.

I do not think that those kind of relationships will ever work out. I am in the same kind of relationship and am thinking about getting out of it
