Guys I do not understand why you both keep coming back to this ridiculous male V's Female thing. I think that could be one of the problems, who cares who is dominant, we now live in a world of freedom and equal rights. A relationship is made up of 2 partners - Partners being the word, meaning partnership that is 2 equal parts.
No one person needs to dominate another and if they do then they are the person with control issues. This goes for both sexes no one person needs to be dominant it is a partnership and you should be able to work together or else the R is doomed anyhow. There may be area's where one dominates but you should find that there is another area where the other one dominates.
Like a man is usually stronger than a woman, therefore they can do things a woman cant.....A woman is often gentler than a man so there are times that the womans gentleness can do that a man can't, not great examples but you should get my drift.
Again this is just my opinion but for what it is worth I would give up superior and inferior scenario's and go to trying to work as an equal in everything you do and you may find you have more luck.....KDU
