In a relationship, whether it's romantic or professional, everyone is committed to doing their part for it to be successful and fulfilling for both.
But sometimes, we don't realize that we're carrying far more than our share.
It's like being in a car, driving side by side, and wanting to move forward together.
Except the other person is swerving, braking, accelerating without warning. And this happens constantly.
In a romantic relationship, this means: You make an effort, you question yourself, you communicate... but the other person does nothing or explodes. There's no listening or self-reflection.
In a professional partnership, it means: You push forward, you carry the project, you offer solutions, you do your best to ensure everything goes smoothly... But on the other side, either a wall or a snailâeither way, things just donât move.
And you end up compensating.
Adjusting.
Hoping that things will stabilize.
But if the other person doesnât take their share, itâs unsolvable.
At some point, you have to say stop.
Because if you're the only one holding the wheel, itâs no longer a duo.
Itâs a burden.
And carrying alone what should be shared doesn't move you forward.
It drains you.
