It's pretty easy to understand, a good relationship is not 50/50, it's 100/100. You've both got to be all in, and be safe,secure and comfortable there or, sooner or later, it's going to fall apart.
Yes it can be exhausting at times. We all go through struggles in life and, sometimes, as much as we want to, we simply can't give that 100% to our relationship. That's when the other partner has to step it up and give 110, 150, 200% for a while and, that's when it gets exhausting.
That's a part of loving someone and, it's fine as long as one giving more is not permanent, it's what you need to do to get through a rough time.
That rough time might last weeks, months or even years, but when the trust and sharing all of you is there, it's okay, you know you can be there for your partner and help them get past whatever it is.
