In relationships there tends to be one partner who is nore dominant in the relationship in terms of being vulnerable and "needy" and the other partner seems to be constantly running around fulfilling and worrying themselves endlessly about the needs of their partner. Which one are you and why is it that you think this?

Idly speaking female partners tend to be more dominant in the relationship of husband and wife. And if she is working lady, she shares double responsibility, she not only looks after her office duties but looks after her children and husband also. In my case also my spouse shares more responsibilities than me because some of jobs like cooking etc. has to be performed by her only. I also share many responsibilities but overall in terms of your discussion I tend to become the 'needy'.

There you go!!!! I used to have a wall hanging in my house. My father bought it a long time back. It read "I am the BOSS of my house & I have my wife's permission to say that" :)

Ofcourse it's very clear that women are more vulnerable and needy. My reasons are very clear to every one, do this for me, do that for me, you see. They are all alike and the reasons only God knows.

We are not all alike. We may bear some similarities to one another in certain facets but we are not all the same!

i think my boyfriend and i are just equal when it comes to worrying about each other's needs. we're always like that. but i guess my boyfriend is more understanding than i am. and in our relationship, i am the one more needy... of his attention. maybe because i am a jealous girlfriend, that's why.

i think in my current relationship we take turns being the needy one. My boyfriend where go through a phase where he tells me he loves me like every 5 minutes of the day just so i will say i love you back, and he needs to be touching me all the time and stuff and that is usually when i do not want to bothered, then there are days where i just want him to hold me and i get over protective and always wondering where he is and what he is doing.

I would say that the man is always the one who is needy. Although he acts tough & macho & what not he is always an emotional child & looking for those caressing hands when he gets back home.

i think in every relationship there must be understanding in all you do. the bible says 'with understanding a house is build.' No one should be at the other side constantly. they should be change from time to time. i think i am caring and my partners must be caring too so that we both enjoy the relationship. Lets be realistic.

So very few people are realistic about their relationships and or about their lover and their needs.
