This hurts a little to admit, even though I'm working on improving this cycle. My relationships tend to alternate between the following: A) I fall hard and quick; devote a great deal of energy, time and creativity to make sure the relationship works and my partner is happy. Then, when I inevitably burn out and need to recharge my batteries, I withdraw and get accused of neglect and/or being a different person. So I never get my needs nurtured as I was never forthcoming enough at the beginning. This hurt of expending energy followed by rejection lasts a long time. Or, B) I maintain a more casual relationship that fulfills my physical needs without getting close enough to threaten my emotions. And I usually end that arrangement when the other person wants to move forward to an official relationship. Until I get lonely enough to try for an emotionally close relationship again.
