UNRECIPROCATED LOVE

A person who relies on another person for support (especially financial support) is extraordinarily different from one who marries into a situation out of love, which happens that their spouse has a greater income. It is important for the one with the greater income to remember that ones value in the relationship is not determined by their fiscal valuation. Although men customarily hold the accomplished position in marriage, there are increasingly more women holding the purse strings in today’s society. A life partner, although once blindly, excessively devoted or adoring to their mate, can begin to feel being under the power or dominance of their spouse if care is not taken to ensure against such emotions. When one exerts shrewd or cunning authority over their partner, feelings of being discarded, abandoned, relinquished, not wanted or needed may surface. One may feel so undesirable in the eyes of their partner, as to be incapable of arousing even jealousy. Their opinions are often not required or requested and they are uncalled-for even to make suggestions. However, one who fails to realize the difference in a true partnership of love, and that of an association of need, usually learn from life's most difficult test. Nevertheless, whether love or need, if one is made to feel insignificant, in the end, the truth is exposed.
