In a relationship, we should be able to count on each other. We should be able to feel encouraged and supported by each other. However, this does not mean that we should expect the other person to fix all our problems. That's just inappropriate. And sometimes some people try to push the responsibility of fixing all their problems off onto another person. Many, many toxic women will do this. And she'll make it feel like you have to do this for her. She'll play that victim card and that it's just not her fault and she just— She needs you to fix it. Or maybe she'll get really nasty and mean trying to get you to fix all her problems. You should never, ever have to fix all of her problems. This is a huge red flag and something you don't deserve. However, what you do deserve is a woman who wants to support you and help you.
