At the start of a relationship, each person makes an effort.

This is the time when you try to impress each other and hide any floors. As the relationship progresses things become more relaxed and true colors start to show.

Initially, you are likely to do things for your partner innocently thinking that this will not cause any issues down the line.

The truth is that by allowing certain things to happen in the early days you are setting the precedent for how your relationship will be going forward.

This type of relationship can quickly become strained for both parties.

Reasons This Occurs

People that initially take on the parent role in the relationship feel like they want to nurture the other person.

This is done with good intentions of making your partner feel happy. The result of this is that your partner will let you do everything and you can quickly become resentful.

The person that takes on the child role often does so because they lack maturity. This often stems from the way they were parented as a child.
