    I'm in a relationship where I do ALL the work. I'm the complete driving force. I all aspects of it.

    Why can't see share the relationship load? I've talked to her about this. She keeps saying that she wants to be equal in this, but she never does anything.

    Talk to her again about it. Tell her your TRUE feelings, not watered down. Or just deal with it..

    In Case You Haven't Noticed, A Lot Of Relationships Are Some What

    One Sided, Yet They Work.

    There Is No Simple Answer To Your Prob, Just Be Patient And Understanding

    And Hope The Inbalance Irons Itself Out...:).



    Cheers Glen.

    Why does she not do her part? Is it because she's just "that type of person" (sense of entitlement, doesn't expect to have to ever shoulder responsibility) or is it because she's just not particularly emotionally invested in the relationship?

    If your relationship is one of convenience for her (rather than one that is driven by mutual love) then this could be a symptom.

    If she is genuinely in love with you and interested in maintaining/growing your relationship but simply doesn't understand how to contribute to the health and success of your romance, then you need to make it clear that you expect her to put in the effort... and that you're going to walk if she doesn't share some of the burden, because you only want to be with someone who loves you enough to contribute equally.
