A real friend does not make time for you, they give you theirs. A friend is like a four leaf clover hard to find but lucky to keep.

Communicate. Truth is it won't help. If people don't realize they are low-end contributors I don't think you are going to fix them. If they do realize it, I don't think you are going to fix those guys either. Only you know how much of the relationship you want to carry by yourself. They are never 50/50 I believe. Some people like having the most responsibility because they feel that gives them more power. People are all different. Sorry to be a pessimist here, but that's the way I see it. I'm not naturally pessimistic.

Don't give or do more than what makes you happy. Accept the other person for who they are. Relationships/friendships are rarely equal. If you're both getting what you want and need, then all is well. If not, then, move on.
I'm not sure I would want to waste time "fixing" a relationship where the other person doesn't really want to contribute. I would just let it doe a natural death and move on.
