Thank you for sharing this with me, dear rainbow heart sister.
"In general, and with rare exceptions, the returns in love situations are roughly proportional to the amount of time and devotion invested. The amount of love you get from an investment in love is correlated, if only roughly, to the amount of yourself you invest in the relationship."
"You need expectations that match reality before you can make some progress. There may be exceptions, but they are rare."

Risk? Check! Expectations? Check! Returns? Check! Investment? Check! Losses? Check! Economic/Relationship Cycle? Check! Realistic measures? TBA!
My EL = Very high risk investment with an ultramicroscopic size of possible long term gains.
Sell off this investment and buy a lower risk investment instead? Off the table :)
love, dreamer.
