Do men always expect something in return when they invest their time, effort, or emotions? While not every man keeps score, many hope their efforts are appreciated, reciprocated, or acknowledged. The issue isn’t always about getting something material back—it’s often about feeling valued.In healthy relationships, both partners naturally give and receive.
