Howdy!

In the book, quid pro quo was presented as a way of maintaining balance. And, I think, balance is a good basis for relationships...as much as we can achieve it.

It is highly unlikely, IMO, that we will "become one" or any of that. In longer term relationships, it is a matter of learning to live together as happily as possible.

So, being honest about the areas in which you feel your partner "doesn't know how to be very giving" could be a very good thing.

I appreciate your reply.
