Thinking someday your partner will acknowledge your efforts and see the goodness in you, in a 1-sided relationship, is never going to happen. Also, if a relationship is not giving you the basics of being happy, then it’s good to ask yourself why are you even in it? Whatever your answer be, ask yourself, is it worth your ‘happiness’
Take help if needed to heal this relationship or from this relationship. Whatever you do, just don’t be stuck thinking, someday my efforts will be recognized. That’s not how 1- sided relationships ever work.
Don’t get stuck in a pattern of unhappiness. You are so much more than this suffering
