“I do everything for my boyfriend and get nothing in return.” – 10 tips if this is you

Sometimes, the scales can tip in relationships and it feels like you are doing everything for your partner and getting nothing in return.

The good news?

It doesn’t have to stay that way! Here are 10 tips on what to do in that situation:

1) Talk about what you’re feeling

The first thing you can do when you feel like the relationship is not balanced is talking to your partner.

I know, when you’re feeling low, it’s hard to communicate what you’re going through.

But it’s important to do so.

When you talk about your feelings, it can help your partner feel more connected and understand why you’re upset.

It can also help him or her to better empathize with you and your situation and make the necessary changes.

2) Stop doing everything for them all the time

In some relationships, the scales may tip so much that it feels like one person is doing everything for their partner and not getting anything back in return.

Sometimes, you may feel like doing all this for them is important, but it’s crucial to remember that you’re not the only one who wants this relationship to work.

One way to start trying to get your partner back on track is to stop doing everything for them all the time.

Instead, focus on the truly important things you can do to help them out and make them feel appreciated, and drop the rest.

This can include providing support, taking care of their needs, and being there when they need you.

Trust me, when you make sure that their needs are covered but you aren’t doing every single chore for them, they will realize how amazing you are.

By taking turns taking care of each other’s needs and making sure that they know that you are there for them when they need it, your partner will feel appreciated and grateful and can reciprocate the favor.

This way, both of you can focus on what is truly important in life- enjoying each other’s company and doing the things we all love together.

3) Don’t be afraid to ask for what you want

I know, it can be difficult to know what you want in a relationship, but it’s important to ask for what you need.

In most cases, the person you’re trying to build a relationship with is willing and able to provide what you need, they just sometimes don’t know what that is!

You’d be surprised as to how much can be resolved simply by asking for what you want.

Simply put, don’t be afraid to ask for what you want in a relationship – it will make the process more positive and easier for both of you.

4) Bring out his inner hero

In order for your boyfriend to start helping you out, you will have to bring out his inner hero, the part of him that wants to support you at all times.

There’s a new theory in the relationship world that’s causing quite a stir – it’s called the hero instinct.

Coined by relationship expert James Bauer, this fascinating concept finally explains how men really think and feel in relationships.

And it’s something most women have never even heard of.

According to James Bauer, men don’t actually need a lot to feel content in their relationships. To most people’s surprise, it has nothing to do with sex.

You see, men have innate drivers. These are natural responses that they’re not even aware of. But when a woman comes along and triggers them, it causes a powerful response.

The result is a man who loves harder, commits wholeheartedly, and truly dedicates himself to the relationship.

So, how can you trigger your man’s hero instinct?

Well, you certainly don’t need to act like a damsel in distress or buy him a cape. It’s quite simple, actually.

All you have to do is give your man certain signals that make him feel needed in the relationship. These allow him to step to the plate and feel fulfilled in his role as your partner.

And these signals are revealed in this simple and genuine video by James Bauer.

The truth is, once you understand how the hero instinct works, there’s no telling what heights your relationship can reach.

So if you want to give your man what he truly wants from you, make sure to check out James Bauer’s excellent video. In it, he reveals the exact texts and phrases you can use straight away.

5) Let them know that you care about them

When you feel like you’re not getting anything in return from your relationship, it’s important to let your partner know that you care about them.

Always nagging about how they never help you can take a toll on the relationship and actually make them want to help even less!

This simple trick of telling them how much you care will help to change the dynamic and make things more equitable.

It might be difficult to do, but it’s important to communicate your feelings.

6) Be honest with why you feel the way you do

When you’re feeling like you’re not getting anything back from your partner, it can be difficult to open up and share why that is.

The truth is, there may be reasons why you’re not getting what you want in the relationship, and it might have nothing to do with the chores they’re not doing.

You see, them not doing the dishes isn’t really what is hurting you or making you mad.

In reality, it’s the underlying truth that you associate with that action, for example:

Not doing dishes = they don’t value my time or respect my worth.

So, you have to look at the bigger picture of what is really bothering you.

Maybe your partner isn’t reliable or they just don’t seem interested in your feelings.

In this situation, it might be helpful to try and see things from a different perspective.

Talk about the things that make you unhappy and see if there are any areas where you could work together more effectively.

This way, you’ll be able to improve your relationship without having to change much at all!

7) Use communication skills wisely

When it comes to relationships, communication is key.

If you’re not getting what you want in your relationship, use your communication skills to get what you want.

• Use clear and concise language.
• Be honest about your feelings.
• Remove any blame from the situation.
• Let your partner know how you feel and how they can help improve the relationship.
• Seek out advice from a trusted friend or family member.
• Don’t be afraid to ask for help if things aren’t going well.
• Don’t be afraid to express your concerns openly and honestly.
• Give your partner a chance to change or improve their behavior; don’t make them do something they don’t want to do just to stay in the relationship.
• If things are getting tough, reach out for support from outside of the relationship – someone who can offer a perspective that may be different from your own.
• Don’t give up on the relationship – there’s always room for growth and improvement!

These skills will help you to improve your relationship drastically – in every aspect!

8) Use positive reinforcement

When you feel like your partner isn’t doing enough in the relationship, instead of blaming them, try to use positive reinforcement!

Positive reinforcement (also called positive reinforcement therapy) is a technique used in mental health and human relationships to increase the likelihood that an individual will help another person or group.

Positive reinforcement helps people feel motivated to do things that are not helpful or unpleasant for themselves but contribute to the success of others.

It can be delivered through rewards such as money, praise, attention, privileges, social support, or other forms of encouragement.

And the best part?

This may be something as simple as telling them that you’re proud of them or telling them how much they mean to you.

Positive reinforcement can help keep him feel motivated to help you.

I mentioned this fascinating concept earlier: the hero instinct. When a man’s inner hero is triggered, he’s more likely to want to help out their girlfriend wherever possible.

Just by knowing the right things to say to him, you’ll open a part of him that no woman has ever reached before.

And the easiest way to do so is by watching this free video by James Bauer. In it, he’ll reveal simple phrases and texts you can use to make your man truly yours.

9) Be willing to make some sacrifices for your relationship

First and foremost, be willing to make some sacrifices for your relationship.

When you’re willing to put in the extra effort, you’ll be rewarded with a better relationship.

That doesn’t mean you have to bend over backward without getting anything in return, of course!

You may have heard that relationships are based on compromise and mutual respect.

Well, that’s true in part, but it’s also important to understand that not every agreement is going to be perfect, and not every situation is going to be “fair”.

You need to be willing to let go of some things in order for your relationship to grow.

10) End the cycle

In order to break out of the cycle of being too supportive and not giving your partner what they need, it’s important, to be honest with them.

If you’re not sure why your partner isn’t doing a lot for you, ask them directly.

When you know what needs to change in order for your relationship to improve, it will be easier for both of you to make those changes.

A relationship should be a two-way street.

It’s important to be able to communicate with your partner and understand what they need from you and vice versa, if you can’t do that, the relationship might not be great, anyways.

If you’re willing to be honest and work together, you can make your relationship last a lifetime.

The takeaway: He wants to help

One thing I can promise you is that in a mutually loving and respecting relationship, your partner wants to help you out.

You see, men generally like to spoil their girlfriends and make life easier for them, it’s just in their nature, believe me!

So, what does that mean for you?

In most cases, if your boyfriend isn’t helping you out, the issue might simply be miscommunication!

And he really doesn’t want to help, something bigger might be the problem.

I touched on the hero instinct earlier – it’s the perfect remedy for the situation you’re facing.

Why?

Because once a man’s hero instinct is triggered, he’ll only have eyes for you. You’ll reach a part of him that no woman has ever managed to reach before.

And in return, he’ll be compelled to commit to you and love you like he’s never loved another woman.

So if you’re ready to take that plunge and reach new heights in your relationship, make sure to check out relationship expert James Bauer’s invaluable advice.
