When You Give Too Much in Love

Caring deeply does not always create a healthier relationship. Sometimes love loses its balance when one person keeps giving more and more.

Hello, I’m Lludy Ono.

When people come to me with questions about love, I often hear something like this:

I care about this person so much. Why is the relationship still not working?

Wanting to do something for someone you love is completely natural. You want to make them happy. You want to see them smile.

But in a relationship, deeper love does not always lead to a better outcome. Sometimes the balance between two people begins to break down precisely because one person’s expressions of love have grown too large.

Today, I would like to write about what happens when caring for someone becomes giving too much.
