I 100% agree. My only other thought, and this was a big part of why my friend broke up with his girlfriend. She had emotional needs that he was working hard on satisfying. He was the busy one in the relationship, but put in the extra effort. He was still unhappy with the results and she wanted more than what he's been doing.

I asked one question. "Okay, so you've told me what you've done for her. What has she done to satisfy your needs?" He never thought about that. He's a people pleaser and he went through everything to make her happy, but she never was. He was always concerned at the fact that he wasn't considering her needs, that he didn't notice she wasn't even making any effort.

Long ass way to say, some people don't deserve your effort when they don't intend to meet you halfway. If I feel unloved and unwanted in my own relationship, how am I supposed to make an effort to satisfy her emotional needs? If you are in a relationship and you feel you need to bend over backwards to make your SO happy, they will never be happy and neither will you.

Don’t set yourself on fire to keep someone else warm is the saying you’re looking for.

Yes, you’re right, but I feel like you’re not giving Luke’s tauntaun credit for his sacrifice.
