Have you ever been in a relationship where it felt like your needs were higher on the hierarchy than your partner’s needs but it wasn’t in a bad way it just felt like a natural dynamic?

In my last relationship, my ex was so easy going and had very very few needs. Her love language was acts of service but she also helped out. She also was okay with never initiating anything like dates or what we cook or anything and I felt like I had to always initiate, I felt like I had to be on top of scheduling dates and making sure I was communicating all the time. <br><br>She told me she felt so comfortable and secure in the relationship. She also didn’t get upset that often. <br><br>I’m not sure if I’m explaining it right but it felt like she trusted me with her needs and I had to manage a lot of stuff to make sure she felt secure and happy. She’s very self sufficient and comes from a high achieving family. <br><br>I don’t think I can function in a relationship where my needs are higher than my partner’s. I don’t want to feel like I’m burdensome or too complicated/needy.<br><br>So, have you ever been in that dynamic?
