How do you feel about being a support or being sup

How do you feel about being a support or being supported?
*
*
In every relationship, there are times where we are held and times where we hold the other up. But with that interchange can sometimes come a tangle of questions. Would your partner hold you the way you hold them? Are you starting to get fatigued by being the support? If receiving support, do you feel guilty for it? How much is too much in the energetic exchange of give and take with someone we love? This question not only applies to love relationships, but with any relationship . . . parent, sibling, child. These are some of the questions asked in Arthropoda.
