One of the main ways one-sided relationships can be noticeable is around who initiates things.If you are the only one striking up a conversation, or instigating plans to meet up, it can feel like you are the only one invested in the relationship.

We all want to feel wanted, but it’s important to remember that just because a person does not make the first move, doesn’t mean they don’t care.

Even if they don’t initiate, if they pick-up, reply and ultimately say “yes” to plans, they’re putting in effort.

A clear sign that a relationship is becoming one-sided is when communication fails to find a balance. Conversation should go two-ways, and if they never ask about you or what’s going on in your life, then bring that to their attention.

It’s impossible for every iteration to be exactly 50:50, but over the course of a relationship it should even out.
