Having reciprocal contact is a 'need'. I wasn't taught this in childhood, either. I just started this aspect in therapy, earlier, this year.
Relationships are about compromise, yes. It's also about fairness and respect.
Is this relationship, about just having a relationship, for the sake of having one?
Taking what you can get, ADM!
