Sure, less disappointment. Well, it doesn't speak very well of that person if they have led you to expect nothing. it does indeed sound like a toxic relationship, unless, as PB said, a parent/child situation. but over time people do expect from thier child. That is caring, that is nuturing. To have enough faith in someone to have high expectations.<br />JamieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807511764954512386.post-4117000248949117092011-06-08T17:23:11.992-07:002011-06-08T17:23:11.992-07:00Well in any relationship RJ, there is also honesty...Well in any relationship RJ, there is also honesty and trust, to make it work.<br />Like I said, the 100/0 principle is so much easier to think about than to actually do and sustain. The principle espouses "patience" and forgiveness and relies on the natural forces to shift and balance the equation. Sadly, some people abuse and use the people who generally try to live by the principle.Psycho Babbling Basherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17232755958213827818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807511764954512386.post-30421668732461312892011-06-06T14:54:59.371-07:002011-06-06T14:54:59.371-07:00I was having a discussion with my dad this evening...I was having a discussion with my dad this evening, and I mentioned the 100/0 principle.<br /><br />It got me thinking, though, that there are some situations when one is giving and not expecting anything in return, and the other party takes advantage of this. The point is, sometimes one can end up feeling 'used'. My question is, what do you do in that situation? Do you <br />a) Administer the 'hard love' tactic and stop giving whatever it is, so that they realise and start returning the favour, or<br />b) Carry on with patience, in the hope that they might eventually return the favour, because you love them and don't want them to feel bad about not doing so.RJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16846324734484219781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807511764954512386.post-74005432078474289642011-05-17T02:08:19.409-07:002011-05-17T02:08:19.409-07:00Just the most inspiring post I read for a long tim...Just the most inspiring post I read for a long time Psycho. It's always what I tell myself, "give everything, require nothing". But it's easier to say. These steps and words are great help to improve relationship that matter to us. As we too often (and me the first) tend to give up if we don't receive as mush as we give. <br>Thanks so much for sharing these wonderful lines with us. Time to go working on my relationships, as some are in pretty bad shape!! <br>Take care.MarieHarmonyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11723249290792650482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807511764954512386.post-76665739166740889552011-05-17T06:14:48.311-07:002011-05-17T06:14:48.311-07:00I like this post. :)hmmmm...I like this post. :)<br><br>hmmmm...RJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16846324734484219781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807511764954512386.post-10054160996260889892011-05-17T10:14:56.895-07:002011-05-17T10:14:56.895-07:00i agree its hard to do, especially when cranky ti...i agree its hard to do, especially when cranky tired or in low spirits but i agree it should even at those times stick in the back of the mind.<br>great post :)rivercathttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13266676584816215256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1807511764954512386.post-74362163875573296082011-05-18T20:56:39.007-07:002011-05-18T20:56:39.007-07:00Dear Marie, RJ and River,The thing about RELATIONS...Dear Marie, RJ and River,<br>The thing about RELATIONSHIPS, not only is it made up of 13 letters and is a pretty long word, but what it really means to all of us is unique to each of us. Then everything else from simple becomes COMPLICATED. Another long word. Ironically, these are short words: LOVE, HOPE, LIFE.

THey say if you expect nothing, you can never be dissapointed and you do whatever you want because of who you are, instead of basing it on the acitnos of others. If someone does not say thank you, it is their mistake, not yours for giving because if you had not given whilst being a giving person, it would have been a much greater mistake (I use the term mistake loosely as they don't believe in mistakes as such).<br><br>Anyway, loved the post and I think it could be effective in most relationships. However, it will not work in absuive relationships, and it should only be attempted in relationships which you want to keep (like you said). Work relationships for instance, are often temporary for many people. Assess, and then implement when you can as much you can.<br><br>Lovely post.Kedahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03467573541576582062noreply@blogger.com
