Yeah, I agree, and think it's one of the hardest parts in a relationship. It's so easy to view your SO or even platonic friend as a crutch, something to fill a void you have. It's very hard to be able to self reflect and see what you have to offer, and if able, see what you're fulfilling for the other person.

It was when I first joined hubski, I read a comment about how friendship is a give and take, sometimes someone is all give and can switch to all take, but there is this push and pull and it's stuck with me, one of those "Ah ha!" moments. It's been rattling around my head and it seems to fit in with this.
