You’re not a wheel puller...

Be it regular friendship, intimate relationship, partnership or whatever ‘ship’ you may call it, the bond should not be founded on emergencies only. You know, functional only when one party is in need of help or relief.

If the gains could gladly be shared, then it is only noble that the detriments be shared too. Anything short of that mutual dependence, even if the one being used is as willing as the finest ER attendant, the bond is bound to suffer from relational fatigue.

In other words, allowing a bond to treat you like a wheel puller is like consenting to being taken advantage of. A wheel puller is an automotive service tool that you pull out when you have a flat-tyre or puncture that you need to fix, and when everything’s copasetic, you just throw it back into the trunk and drive on.


You’re not a wheel puller, and even though they say each to his or her scenario, I believe you deserve affection. I believe if you’re going to take the rap or hurt for someone, it has to be for one that will equally find in you a quality or two worth putting up with - regardless
