It has taken a toll on you.
No matter what you do for your significant other, it isn’t appreciated.
This has actually made you fall into a trap you weren’t aware of.
Every time you did a nice thing for him and he didn’t appreciate it, it disappointed you to such an extent that you would go even further the next time around.
Each time you upped the ante, doing something that much more elaborate for him, to see whether that would be enough to get your significant other to appreciate you.
It wouldn’t.
Next thing you know, you are upping the ante again.
This becomes a trap that sneaks up on you without you realizing it.
You keep doing that much more for him with a desperate desire for him to finally appreciate what it is you did for him.
This is a black hole.
It sucks the energy and spirit out of anyone who puts in this much effort to make their significant other happy without any appreciation or reciprocation.
Doing these things for him won’t change who he is.
Your significant other is a selfish person.
Someone who is all about what he can get out of a partner without giving much in return.
Sadly, a man like this takes advantage of a partner when he knows that she is all about making him happy.
In the beginning, when the relationship was young, he gave a little back, just to make you think that more is to come.
But he is a shark.
He never had any intention of giving more overtime.
He purposely lulled you into doing more and more things for him, knowing full well that once you fall in love with him, he can ease up and do nothing.
Unfortunately, you have fallen into his trap.
You are emotionally invested in him, and he knows it.
He knows that he doesn’t have to appreciate the things you do for him.
He has you.
You are now in a position where the littlest appreciation from him would make your day.
He doesn’t even have to do that now, knowing that he has you fully emotionally invested in him.
Sadly, your significant other is someone who isn’t capable of showing appreciation.
He was like this with the last girlfriend he had and the one before that.
He is used to getting girls to give him what he wants and then some, without having to show much appreciation or do much in return.
This is a massive flaw in his character that you can’t do anything about.
This is who he is.
A huge trap that women in your position fall into is when they think that by continuing to do more elaborate things for their significant other, it will eventually make him see her value, and he will appreciate and reciprocate.
It won’t happen.
He is selfish by nature, and to change this would be akin to changing his entire DNA.
You are better off getting out of this relationship immediately.
The longer you stay, the deeper your emotions become for him, until it is next to impossible for you to leave.
A man this selfish will only keep taking.
