I confused.
To me is sounds like you are saying that they are both wrong and they
both know it, and both are unwilling to admit it?
Is that right? And if it is, is that what you think, or is that what
they think?

The self-centered person will take advantage of you.
The other person feels that you will take advantage of them.
Both of them want everything done for me without them doing anything
for you. Both feel it is owed to them.
How to tell the difference, can't help you there.
Either way if you know this, then why are you staying in that
relationship?

Of course this is just my opinion. I could be wrong.
