In a relationship, should your priority always be towards your partner?

No matter how much you love your significant other, the truth is, all relationships take time and commitment. You can't expect a relationship to work perfectly if you're not willing to invest some serious time into it.

When my BF and I got back together, I knew that I had to try hard to make sure things got better - and that meant giving him a little more attention than everyone else for a little while. A relationship is a huge part of your life, so naturally, it's going to take up a lot of your time!

During a talk with a friend, he pointed out to me that I am not his number 1 priority, that his family, friends, work, car, and his condo come before me.

But what do you do when the feeling isn’t mutual?

Well, that’s where everything starts to go wrong in a relationship.

Misunderstandings in expectations from each other are almost always the biggest reason for bad relationships and friendships.
