Don't take it for granted. You deserve more. Put yourself in his shoes.
Don't be someone who only gives your partner the crumbs and picks up the cream yourself. If you truly love that person, you should want to do everything in your power to make them happy. Do whatever it takes to put a smile on her face.
You have to work for the relationship. Do your part. Even though the partner does not want to ask for more, even though he may agree with the crumbs now, in the long run, such a relationship will fail.
Eventually, he will get tired of such an attitude. He will resent the fact that he is always the one who does more. And once you reach that point, there's nothing you can do to change his decision.
If you decide to put effort into a relationship until you reach this tipping point, it will probably be too late.
You should always treat yourself as a priority. You need to make time for her, time that you spend only with her. You need to make her feel seen, heard and appreciated.
She shouldn't have to wonder for a single day where you are, if you still care, if you still really love her, or if you're just saying those words to make her stay with you.
Compliments are not enough. You must back up your words with actions. You must fulfill your promises. You have to show her every day that you don't care. Little things count.
Show your loved one that they are worth the effort. Because at the end of the day, doing your best is all that counts.
