One shouldn't enter into a relationship unless they can say they would be perfectly happy with being alone the rest of their lives. If you can't be happy with yourself, why would you ever expect someone else to be responsible for your happiness? Furthermore, how can you bring happiness to a relationship if you can't find it on your own? I think it's very selfish to require that someone else make you happy.
What you bring to a relationship shouldn't be less or more than what your partner should be bringing.
The two people should be supportive of one another. One person shouldn't have to carry the relationship by themselves. Grudges and resentment can build up when one person feels like they are the only one working on anything. And all relationships take work. Friendships take work. Familial relationships take work. Intimate relationships take work too. If one isn't up to putting in their fair share, they shouldn't be in one.
