There comes a time in a relationship, friendship or whatever, to where you must evaluate things. You must take account of the time, money, love or what have you that you have invested into a person. Any wise investor is one that is eventually looking for a return of some sort for their investment. While expecting an equal return is the desired effect, it is unrealistic for that expectation to be excercised upon every transaction or exchange with that person. An exchange of some sort is necessary though. I've come to the point in my relationships with certain people are under audit. Some people give %20 when it comes to me, but fully expect me to give a robust %100 when it comes to them. I call this selfish and self centered. These people are used to getting their way so they expect it from everyone that they encounter.
Given there are times when this will occur, one giving more than another, but it should by no means be standard. I have to let go of these people. So while it may hurt me in a way, I know that eventually it will be all better. I'm better off without that shit in the long run. The one that deserves what I possess in character, love, moneterarily etc; will not even ask. It will continually be reciprocated unconditionally and without hesitation or any anxiety involved.
The question is are you making wise investments?
