A relationship needs balance.
When one person gives too much care, the relationship changes. It can feel like a job, not a partnership.
A person can feel like an employee in their own relationship. This happens when caregiving tasks become too many. The time spent on care tasks can outweigh time spent as partners. This imbalance changes the relationship's core.
A partner spends many hours managing another partner's medicine, doctor visits, and special diet. The partner spends fewer hours just enjoying time together. The caregiving partner starts to feel like a caregiver, not an equal partner.
