I just thought about a way of thinking about the stuff we are dealing with right now.
If one of you in a relationship is physically strong, the physically weaker one will call on them to do any heavy lifting around the place (and probably not even question that they should). The physically strong one might occasionally need another strong person to come and give a hand.
Soooo.. if one if you is emotionally weaker they will probably rely on the emotionally stronger one to bail them out too. We resent it but I am wondering if we should just think hey I'm the stronger one I can do this, and if I need any help I can turn to friend to help me out.
Just a thought
