most of the time you hear of either the guy "running the relationship" or the girl "running the relationship" and i don't think that is really right i think that it should be 50/50, i mean thats just my personal opinion but thats what i believe, so i was just wondering what people on mylot think about this, do you think that the couple should compromise or decisions or do you think that it should be up to the individual, like if i wanted to do something and my girlfirend/wife wasn't comfortable with me doing it should i just do it anyways because its me or should i listen to her side of the story since it is 50/50, and should both be making all of the decisions? what are your thoughts?

I think in life all has to have balance, so for me the relationship has to be 50/50 if not I do not thing that will work. But who knows?

i agree with you i think that the relationship should be balanced so that each other is putting in the same amount of time as the other...but that is just my opinion though!

it is always should be 50/50. 2 persons are involved in the relationship. so no preference should be given on one person only. its my thought.

Relationships are 50/50. If you want to do something with your wife/girlfriend whatever, you have to have her permission first. If you go ahead and do it anyway, she's going to lose trust in you very quickly, and soon, there won't be any equality. You're going to be walking on hot coals. Best to treat her with respect and she will give you the same treatment. :D

Hi Jh, I think it should be both ways.That both wife and husband or any other realationship bf/gf should listened to each other asking what they have to do because still they are not individual.So let say if someone wants to do something or wants to buy specially in husband and wife they should both makes decissions it has to be balance otherwise relation is not gonna work.It has to be also that both person can express thier own feelings not that "because my wife what me to do this even he cannot do it then he will do it for her"its not always that way.Wife should listened and observed too.But both need to ajust to each other i agree w/ that but you cannot change the whole person. In relationship they need to support each other and respect each other decissions.It is so unfair if only one person can make decissions in the house.But that is also possible if the wife/husband let thier partner to makes all the decissions.But i dont like that idea. I really hate it.I always told my partner to go make decissions sometimes not everytime is up to me.I feel bad because he always take all what i want but i want his idea too.But he cannot make any decissions w/out me.So i am stressing everytimes w/ all the things because i am making all the decissions.Its not fun at all!
