I have heard this is true and witnessed it myself. I had a woman that liked me but I did not like her because she lacked boobs and butt, she would always engage in conversation with me text call, but I would not call her. I think I might have played with her emotions and feelings. At times she was happy and thrilled to see me. She would even set up dates and things to do, however would not take part. Later on a met another woman that I'm some what seeing. I like her, I would engage in conversation, text, chat, call set up dates and whatever and no response back or her call goes straight to voicemail. Again I'm not sure if she is not into me and found out she does this to multiple guys at the same time. All I have to say is that karma works in strange ways.

How do you "love less"?
It's not a sliding scale, you either love or you do not....there is no "kinda"

Why would someone stay in a relationship where the levels of commitment or emotional involvement aren't equal?

^^^^^^^^^

You can't quantify feelings of love.

No, it doesn't. It presupposes that there is (or can be) an imbalance of power within the relationship, not necessarily that there is a struggle for it. I know a ton of relationships where one particular person is "in power", and both of them prefer it that way.

It's absolutely true. The person who cares the least about the relationship controls the relationship. Anyone who's ever been on the more invested end of the relationship knows just how true this is with the walking on eggshells and the anxiety that comes from wanting the person more than they want you.

Don't believe me? Give this a read:

You could ask that of over half the marriages and relationships out there.

Because it really does seem to be true to many people. I think even I would have to agree.
