I had trouble interpreting the question itself. What does it mean for a relationship to be fair? What types of relationships are we talking about here? For this question, I'm assuming that the relationships being referred to are either friendships or romantic relationships (and in my opinion, romantic relationships are basically an expansion of friendship). My understanding of a relationship being fair is that there are equal amounts of communication and disclosure between both individuals in the relationship. This means that Person A would share as much about his or her life to Person B as Person B would to Person A. I think that relationships require to-and-fro communcation for it to be a functional and healthy relationship; therefore, if only one individual is sharing to the other about his or her life while the other only listens but shares nothing about his or her own life, the relationship would be imbalanced and thus unfair to both individuals.
As much as I hate to admit it, I believe I have presented a relationship as if it were fair before even though I knew it really wasn't. I found it very difficult to share details about my life and my emotions with this particular individual even though he was very open with me and consistently shared details about his life with me. I didn't really want to admit that I was the one making the relationship unfair, but I knew that it was not a balanced relationship.
