Few days ago, on the way home, I saw a couple in the MRT. The guy was so gentle and caring to the gal, held her to prevent her from falling and looked lovingly at her. The gal, on the other hand, did not show any emotion. My initial thot is, between a couple, is there always one party that will always be submissive and the other one being domineering? Are most relationship maintained in this way?
Hmm.....luckily, my relationship with my hubby is not this way. There are times that one of us has to give in (depends on who is wrong), but its not to the extreme that one party is always giving in, while the other party is always receiving and demanding.
I feel that there should be times that the roles are switched, else, the party always giving will be tiring. As time goes by, the relationship will become a 'used to it' style and either parties will take each other for granted. In the end, the one giving, will continue to give more and the one receiving, will continue to demand for more.
This is the same as when a couple quarrels, the domineering party will expect the submissive partner to give in even though he or she is in the wrong. Is this the correct attitude?
As always said, we should stand in the shoe of our partner to know how they feel. Well, its easier said than done, sometimes I am also taking my hubby for granted. It just can't be balanced somehow. Looks like once in a while, we need to think about what we have done, how are we treating our partner? If its really that bad and taking them for granted, we should really change abit and this would give them a surprise. :)
So what do you think? Any of you in this kind of situation?
