Giving up

Im a means to an end i feel like im the woman who's only purpose is to help her man unlock his full potential and move up in life only to be left behind. Im breaking my back to help out, be loving, supportive, understanding all the bullshit they tell you a good relationship needs but other than great sex and a few of my boxes being checked off i don't see my effort, love or effection being returned. He's being watered and im bleeding out.
