I have a good relationship with my girlfriend but most of time she's busy with her own stuff and i feel like I'm not getting back the same energy.
Hi, thank you for submitting your challenge.
This is a normal challenge to experience during relationships as you and your partner learn to communicate your needs and wants. The DEARMAN (The Dialectical Behavior Therapy) is a tool that you can use to help you understand what you need and how to address this in “I” terms, rather than asking them to change. They may then tell you what they can do to support your needs and which works for them.
Another idea that I’d recommend is to think about how you could redirect some of your extra energy into yourself. See the following link to help you identify where your energy could be spent.
