This may be true, but it's very discouraging to me if it validly comments on the way most relationships work.

I gather it is true, and after watching The Breakup, that quote applies perfectly to Vince Vaughn's character and Aniston's desire to make him jealous and desire her back, while he sits around playing PlayStation and "loving least."

Unfortunately, my experiences in many ways have resulted in a quote similiar to the one holding true, but it also represents a type of relationship I don't think I would be interested in.

I have this notion of an ideal balance existing between two people that, while fluctuation of the balance in inevitable, it also ultimately receives equal amounts of effort and love from both sides, with neglect being something that isn't rewarded, but instead criticized.

Perhaps my notion is idealism and the quote above reality. So far, that seems to be the trend of reality I've experienced, and it's unfortunate.
