You think every functioning couple knows themselves and expresses what they want and hears what the other is saying perfectly? That we're not pumping everyone else full of prejudices and fantasies with no connection to reality? The only thing holding relationships together is intention. It's not a matter of fact or reason. We get to say what happened because we're the only ones who care. Tony Tulathimutte
About This Quote

Sometimes we feel that our relationship is not going on the same level as our friend’s. To us, it doesn’t seem like we are getting what we want from our partner. In fact, it seems like they are getting everything. We think we are not being heard and we feel unappreciated.

We may even feel like we are not important to the person we love. When we think and feel this way, we can become so unhappy and angry that we may start to doubt whether the relationship was worth the trouble in the first place. This feeling is called 'relationship doubt'.
