Swami Mukundananda
Why do relationships break down, and what can I do to stop mine from ending?
Make deposits, not only withdrawals
In the story, the man had never deposited anything in the relationship. He only made withdrawals, and that led to a rupture. Deposits are expressing affection by smiling, praising, supporting, adjusting and understanding others.
The mistake the person made was that in the relationship he had never deposited anything. He only made withdrawals, and that led to a rupture.
