Reciprocity or give and take is a very important part of my recovery. Unconditional giving is reserved for my charities. When I was a practicing codependent, I confused the two. I thought giving money away without anything in return was for everyone in my life. I now know it is not. In my opinion, with friends and partners reciprocity is important for both people to be satisfied. It does not have to be 50/50 but there must be some exchange. I learned this late in life and practice it today and insist on in in my personal relationships. When I do not get it, I only ask for reciprocity once or twice and then I move on. Attachments:
