I was sitting with my mom the other morning and we were talking about relationships in general, friendships, romantic. And the energy people put into them. Some people will go above and beyond to please the person that they are interacting with. I personally consider those types of people givers. No matter what the situation they are always ready to give a helping hand, never expecting anything in return. Then there's the type of people that are takers. These type of people don't really return the favor and purposely ignore the other persons wants or needs and is only concerned about when their needs are gonna be met. But honestly I believe there's also a type of person that can have both those personality all trapped in one. This person would be giving only as much as the other person gives for fear of being taken advantage of. The 50/50 rule, you put in what you get out. I think still in any relationship one always gives more always!! I think if people are honest in their relationships everyone can get the 50/50 rule. If you express to the person that you don't feel like your getting your share of the deal, the issue can be addressed and you get a couple of respect points because people respect honesty over lying to please. I mean come on, I bet everyones heard this " Why the hell didn't you tell me that's how you felt."I don't read minds". This year I want everyone to reevaluate there friendship, relationship or whatever it is you have and see what kind of person you are. Leave a comment I would love to here what kind of friend or lover you are.

Is there truly a such thing as 50/50 or is it the illusion of 50/50? I person will always have more control over any given situation how the choose to share their power is variable..... CONTROL IS AN ILLUSION!
I truly believe that if you love the person you are with; be it a friend, lover or family member; you can make things work. If you realize that the bearing of the burden must be shared equally, on all parts.
If you honestly feel that there is no 50/50, you are likely the giver and are getting screwed. Please tell the other person that you are towing the boat, and they need to pull weight.
Aja, I have known you for some time now. I have entrusted so many things in you. I am grateful to know such a firm, honest, endearing person. I believe we have a 50/50 relationship. And I am thankful for having met you.
