It's an unfortunate truth that it is easy to get exploited in a long-term romantic relationship. The idea of love is often used as an excuse to accept and aid nonsense behavior, especially if you're a woman whose partner is a man. At the same time, it's also true that a big part of loving someone is doing nice things for each other. Why would you choose to be with them otherwise?

This is a balance that can be difficult to strike, but there are few better feelings than when you think you have got it right. This is what one woman seemed to think when she shared the happiness she felt at making her appreciative boyfriend a daily espresso. However, a lot of people were suspicious of her joy and wasted no time in critiquing her love life based on this tiny snippet. At the end of the day, those on the outside will never truly know what goes on behind closed doors.
