Anyone else think that the feeling of 'Love' actually gets in the way of making relationships work?
Anyone I really cared about and was in a relationship with has turned out very fucky, and not in a good way.
Should I start looking at getting into a relationship where I just give a half-assed attempt at it?
Why keep giving it your all when you get shit in return?
Can you tell me more about the fuckiness? It's possible that you express/expect love in unhealthy ways.
Some of my own examples that I've been working on:
>Equating worry with love
doing dangerous things out of a subconscious hope that my SO will express worry.
>Expressing love through inappropriate servitude
I thought that my worth was defined through how much labor I did, and then I got bitter about "having" to do all that work without "enough" gratitude
etc etc

Not OP, but I just realized that this is me. What can I do to improve it? How can I identify similar problems?

A relationship only works between two people who are at the same level. You are way above most people when it comes to the capacity for love, at least in your area. You simply care way more for the other person than them for you. I'm sorry you had to realize how bad people have become when it comes to caring for eachother. Shit sucks. Hopefully youll find someone eventually.
