Not pathetic, but you just joinged the group of guys everyone laughs at that group is called: "pussy whipped".
if guys laugh at them do women laugh too?
Funny, when I first got married I was proud to be in the group referred to as "pussy whipped". It meant I was getting what I wanted and she was getting what she wanted too. I laughed when people laughed.
...one can be sure of nothing until it has already happened...
i'd say there is definitely a power struggle between my boyfriend and i. we both have a "fight to the death" mentality in certain situations because neither of us want to admit that we are wrong. so in that sense, we're pretty equal haha. but we have been getting much much better lately. i'm starting to feel REALLY happy about where we're going in the relationship...it's amazing

♥ the love you take is equal to the love you make ♥
We're pretty equal, but he still ****s up more, so he gets in trouble more. It almost never happens, but when it does, I feel like some kind of disappointed parent.

I think people often choose their opposites so they don't have to develop certain traits they find uncomfortable. For example, a passive guy often pairs himself up with an assertive girl so he can remain passive and not be responsible for making decisions on his own.
The problem with this is that as you grow up into your 30s, some people WANT to strengthen their weaknesses, and they end up resenting their partner for the very thing that attracted them in the beginning.

Relax... I'll need some information first. Just the basic facts - can you show me where it hurts?
Vashti pretty much spot on there i can think of many examples like that...
In most scenarios i know the man starts as dominant when chasing after that the women takes control.
some times its better to know when to pick your battles for the most part i'm easy going. If my GF says something crazy, I'm thinking ok whatever. Then I agree with her most of the time just so she'll shut the hell up
^^^ That's not good. You will eventually voice that "shut the hell up" instead of agreeing and internalizing it.

This thread makes me sad.
