You know what I'm talking about. We all do it, it's human nature to care so deeply for the other person that we forget about ourselves. During the honeymoon stage, and we all know when that is, both parties share that commonality. When both parties care about each other deeply. After that, the balances will shift. One person will care more, or feels like he/she cares more. Tensions will build, resentment will start to form and eventually, anger will erupt.
Did you know who yourself before the relationship? What you needed? What you liked? Who your close friends were? Did you forget all that during the relationship? What was so special about the other person that made you forget about yourself?
We may feel ashamed about it, and friends will tell us how wrong we were for forgetting them. What they don't tell us is, everyone does it.
