The article discusses the detrimental effects of chronic over-accommodation in relationships, particularly for women who are often encouraged by societal norms to prioritize others over themselves. Many women report feeling burnt out and resentful as they cater to the needs of others at the cost of their own well-being. The piece emphasizes the importance of recognizing and addressing these patterns, advocating for women to assertively express their needs and desires to avoid the emotional distress that comes with self-neglect.
