Topic: Things we do for relationships, is it worth it?


      I think of these things because I do a lot in my relationship. I'm not saying it's a bad things. I can add an example. My girlfriend got a new job working overnight shifts. Her and I have both always been morning people. We both wake up around 7-8AM and get to sleep around 10-12PM. She now works overnights, and last night, I waited up until 2AM to see her on her lunch break. I rarely ever stay up that late, and I was exhausted, but to me, it was completely worth it to see her smile and showing how much I care. This job wasn't easy for her to take, but I plan to make it as easy as possible. This brings me to my point of what we do in relationship. We sacrifice a lot, but for a greater good. It shouldn't be one sided, both partners should show each other this affection. After I got home that night form seeing her, I went to sleep. After I woke up, she was awake as well. She only slept for two hours and woke up so we could generally text each other. She, of course, went to sleep soon after. I felt this was very sweet of her to do. Some things we do in a relationship may not feel like it's worth it, and other times, it could seem like everything. The way I see it. As long as you have two people who love each other and their both equals, do whatever you can to make the other person happy, and in return, they will make you happy.
