So, in women's studies class today, and in my current relationship, we were discussing men being more dominant in conversation/relationships. For example, my guy tends to interrupt me, but when I do it, it's "obnoxious." Also, if I am the aggressive one in the relationship, its "Smothering", and he has to be the aggressive one. Now, hes a good guy, and I honestly dont think that is how he thinks, to be dominant on purpose, rather how he was raised, and society itself. Is it best just to move on from relationships like this, even if you care about the person deeply, and find more equality, or is there some way to approach this issue, something to read, etc. It has gotten to the point where being more submissive, (only in little ways like the above mentioned) is the way to make the relationship work...We are clearly equal in the main ways...Any thoughts, comments? No rude ones, please, only thoughtful ones. Thanks so much!
