Yes relationships, Are they suppost to be give and take ? Often times one does give more than the other.. but not all the time , right? or maybe I am just stupid.

If all things are equal, then I would like relationships to be a two way street.
Unfortunately, that usually does not happen in reality. I agree that in a relationship there should be team work. At the present time, there seems to be a lot less of "give and take" than in the past(according to my sources).

There are different types of giving and taking . I give more to my kids than they do to me or do I? Is it not the same for all relationships in some small way at least? Then again I'm lolling at ending a long term ratio ship so what do I know.

A realtionship is a partnership.
Any good partnership involves equal contribution from all partners involved. But this is in an ideal world. If you feel you're putting in a lot more than you're getting back, or carrying most of the weight in the relationship, speak up. Communication is the key.

I am speaking strictly on a friendship level , sorry should had made that clear. ... Give and take , yes makes perfect sense. I guess I am tired of always being the one "giving".
I'm just beyond frustrated.. Maybe time to start cutting these people out of my life.

Yes, relationships are supposed to be give an take. There are people who are "givers" and those that are "takers." Most people have more one than the other, and the key is to be balanced. But, some people are an extreme of either, and when someone who is more of a giver ends up in a relationship with more of a taker, then that's when the problem happens.
 People who are the extreme of takers I think are toxic. Because it never occures to them to give back.

I like giving and taking the same, but it never happens. As long as you're happy with the relationship and it's not like a 80% give and 20% take.
