I always believe that the quality of our life depends on the quality of our relationships. In my humble opinion, relationships between men and women could be classified into three main categories.
Some women believe firmly in authority. For them, the most important thing in a relationship between a man and a woman is that one of them must be good at taking orders. And they choose to rule! They want a man they can control and obey to what they say! Never ever say no to them or else “you die”!
On the other hand, some men are confused. Indeed, they’re conflicted (Like Gollum in The Lord of the Rings). They want a woman who’s their intellectual equal, but they’re afraid of women like that. Sound insane, but it is true (darn true)! They want a woman they can dominate, but then they hate her for being weak. It’s an ambivalence that goes back to a man’s relationship with his mother. Source of his life, center of his universe, object of both his fear and his love. Pathetic!
Feel hopeless? It seems like most relationships we have in life don’t work out. Apparently not! When men and women are able to respect and accept their differences, then relationship has a chance to blossom. Even they might not be able to compromise in every single aspect in their life, they still can hold hand in hand in the end of the day.
Relationships-of all kinds-are like sand held in your hand. Held loosely, with an open hand, the sand remains where it is. The minute you close your hand and squeeze tightly to hold on, the sand trickles through your fingers. You may hold onto some of it, but most will be spilled. A relationship is like that. Held loosely, with respect and freedom for the other person, it is likely to remain intact. But hold too tightly, too possessively, and the relationship slips away and is lost.
So, what is your ideal relationship? Cast you vote! Thank you!

I think a relationship need all 3 of that…that’s what i call a fair and healthy relationship. If there’s only 1 sided…that relationship wont last…plus there’s no such thing as equal rights…right?
Well, even we look for equal right, it’s undeniable pretty hard to achieve that. We try …
I dun care, I want to control HIM, my hubby
Very bad u :haha:
Equals rite!!!
not that equal la (me 51% right!) muahahahahaaa…
:haha: That’s brilliant :crap:
?????!!
Thinking on how to do it! :thinking:
Equal rights… but not to say equal in every thing. My viewpoint is that both guy and girl have their own ROLES to play in a relationship. Guys and girls also have different NEEDS, so both must play their roles to meet each other’s needs.
Good point here. I think respect is the key. We can’t force other to meet our need sometimes.
i vote for equal rights… but it’s not easy. it’s all about give and take.
Yeah, no easy but we have to learn!
I wanna be king. But I never did … :p
Then you are good guy who cares!
Respect is the main point that need in the relationship ! :hehe:
Couldn’t more than agree! :crap:
equal rights.. but then sometimes should let me control abit lar heher
:hehe: Notty u!
I’m the King, listen to me! :haha:
Yes, my lord :kowtow:
I’ve had relationship like that before and it didn’t last long. Lucky I found a man, now my husband, who believes in equal rights.
Good to hear that, your husband must be a lovely guy
dont want guy like chicken~~~~~~~~~ :bye: :grrr:
but don’t want him to dominate… don’t want him too TALK to much… talk big… all that…. :no:
but i want one that sayang me lor~~~ :think:
U will meet your Mr. Right, for sure he will love you full heart
Hmmm.. If you love each other, must treat each other as equal ma.
After all, relationship must be balanced. If one is more controlling than the other, eventually, one side will be sien-la… :no:
Exactly, no one loves to be controlled, that makes you losing your true self!
once you’re married she’s in control full stop liao! :laugh:
I believe to certain extent it’s pretty true :haha:
Give and take for a healthy relationship!
That’s what we all wish for!
