When are you giving too much

[Mare]

My BF and I are total oppisites , I love him withe my whole heart but we are so different in so many ways . My main question is when do you know when you are giving too much. I, at times feel like I am giving a lot more than he is at times but with my many years of being in and out of counseling I feel like I have to to accept him for who he is as long as it is abusive physically or emotional abusive.

I just feel so overwhelemd waiting for him to understand me and wodering if he ever will should I give up.... I truly think with some counseling he can see the basics the agreeing to disagree the picking your battles the acceptance of another for who they are...

Sometimes I think he is so cynical that he may never come around, I really dont think he likes beging as cold as he is that is one of the reasons he is attracted to me... I just do not think he knows how and has been hurt before.

I am not ready to give up but I do not want to waste my 40's waiting for someone that is never going to be what i deserve or need........

It is hard to finally admit that you have given all you can give to a relationship, but in the end, both parties are better off because they can finally find who they are meant to be with. Saying goodbye is the hardest part of the relationship, but sometimes the one that is the most necessary.
