Is one of you the decision maker? If it's your partner how do you feel about this? Or if you make the decisions and your partner goes along with them, how does that make you feel about them?
And is that normal in a relationship (will one always be more dominant) or is it usually equal?
Please let me know what you think, thanks.

that depends on the type of person you are with. what's important is that you love and understand each other. it doesnt matter on who is either in charge and who goes along, it's definitely a give and take relationship and giving or guiding each other to grow as an individual is part of it. just face the fact that every person has a different love story and situation face but all rolled into one when it comes to loving as a key foundation and hurting in the process and happiness and satisfaction as a result.

Good question.. In mine my husband is dominant because I let him. What i mean by that is I want a man to be a man to order drinks at the bar, or book into the hotel for me. When it comes to money I look after the house hold finances so he lets me control what and how much we spend.. When it comes to other decisions like what to watch on telly it is mutual. So I guess each relationship is different but mine has grown out of respect and picks what both of us can do to benefit the other. Recently we laid a new floor in our house. He does underfloor heating fro a living do he did that bit and I laid the tiles over the top then he grouted and I cleaned them off. Its all about compromise and not trying to dominate the other one..
Hope this is of interest to you. Michelle Northamptonshire. England.

I believe someone will alway be more dominant in a relationship because two dominant people just won't work...it causes to much chaos. I think thats where compromise definitely factors. My BF makes decision but so do I...and we agree on the most logical decision that fits both of our needs. Now if you do something unwillingly against your better judgement thats domination which leads to abuse of dependant one...make sure you have balance.

In my relationship its 50/50 most of the time. We always discuss things and make decisions together. However, there maybe times when my fiance takes the lead or vice versa. The most important thing is that we treat each other with respect and we always communicate our feelings on situations.

In my main relationship, we are a partnership...
All decisions are discussed and actioned accordingly...
We take each others comments into consideration... To pro's and con's...
We also (where there is a need for us to go somewhere or do something) look at what each of us is doing and whether we can reschedule...
A relationship should ALWAYS be a partnership for everyone to be happy... If one is totally dominant and the other is not happy, it causes problems...

Its usually 50/50, I really dont mind either way.
Some people are control freaks who cant let anyone else make there own choices while othere like to be told what to do.
it usually down to the personality of the person and what he/she will and wont do.

Nice pic !! But to answer, we try and decide things together so that one does not feel like the one in charge. It works out for the better to both decide instead of just one. Its a two way street.

Mine is pretty equal, as they all should be. But its all about the personality. Some folks have control issues. And they can be hard to get along with. A Napoleon complex is what its called. :(

My bf is the decision maker, and I love it.
I don't feel lower than him or anything. It's tradition to me, and I don't care about the whole women's rights thing. I'm just submissive with him.

I tend to have the final say but always respect my partner's feelings and stand down if there is a strong disagreement.
