Yup. =) Its the basic premise of all the marriage books we read. But it still makes me wonder, are LD's generally takers? I know its a broad generalization, but we can make those sometimes. And of course it depends on your point of view . . . . but if you define "giving" as we just did, what would an objective person classify the LD spouse as?

For instance . . . I would as an objective person say that Hairdogs wife is a definite Taker. She expects her needs to be met with little apparent thought of reciprocation unless it is convenient to her. Therefore she doesn't Give to provide equalibrium in the marriage.

She believes it is perfectly reasonable for her to expect Hairdog to accept the fact that she is Non-sexual while at the same time by default believes it to be Unreasonable for him to expect her to accept his sexuality. Its an illogical and irrational statement. She expects to be able to Take but not be required to Give.

Sorry for using you as an example Hairdog
