50/50 In A Relationship...Is That Possible??

1FocusedBruh · #1 01-12-2005

Everyone says they want a 50/50 relationship but is that even possible?

I feel as if two people play two different roles in a relationship. One has to be the Chief/leader and the other has to be the peasant/follower. They maybe in a relationship and they consult with each other but the Chief eventually makes the decisions.

**I'm not saying Men should run things...ladies**

I think that men refuse to play the Submissive role in a relationship and that he should have control over it.

Like with a Independt women, they are used to being the "boss" and having control of all other aspects in their life. Which is why they have the tendency of wanting to have "control" of their relationships...

Which is why "I" think "Independent Women" have such a hard time finding a man. Men wont take the submissive role..

If one sex naturally feels like they should have control...

Why do we feel that a 50/50 relationship is ideal??

I think a 50/50 relattionship is all mental. I fyou guys are on the same level mentally and you guys are real with each other, then you can have a 50/50 relationship. Otherwise one person is simply playing with the other. What exactly do you mean 50/50 though? Do you mean who makes all the decisions in the relationship, or do you mean who cares about who more (dont know if i said that right or not)

OK I know what I mean

Do youmean 50/50 as in who has more "control" or who makes all the decisions or 50/50 as in who gives more or brings more (not financially, but emotionally) to the relationship

In a perfect world....relationships would be 50/50. Couples would consider each others feelings more, as well as make decisions together instead of one person leading and the other following. This type of relationship is ideal, because to me, it seems like it would cause the less stress and drama in a relationship.....if only this were a perfect world.....

how about if both people in the relationship put in 100% effort into it?not jus half and half.thats how u get a lot of problems in relationships.u cant do a "50/50".if one half isnt doin their job the relationship is messed up.but what if both were puttin in 100%.there would be some room for error.ever thought about that? :?: :?

Actually, it should be 100/100.And what does that have to do with the "roles" that some plays in a relationship??When you refer to things being 50/50 ,that usually means both parties are bringing something to the table.
