Aside from the obvious abusive relationships... what about a relationship where either partner holds all of the power and makes all of the decisions and the other partner is a yes-man or yes-woman? or other ideas?

Decision making as a couple is hard, especially sharing that abilty. My boyfriend of three years, is very passive, and rarely makes a decision without asking me for advice. It's frustrating being in the driver's seat all the time.
The dysfunction is the reason why the person won't make a decision (passive-i.e. boyfriend had an abusive over bearing mothering) or, has to make all the decisions (control freak,).
It's a common problem that can be worked around through discussion, and maybe in some instances, therapy.

It actually works to have a dominant one in the relationship, if not there will be constant conflict. But As far as dysfunctional, I would say the relationships that break up once a month or once a week. That whole love you hate you thing is really dysfunctional.

1. When its a one sided like
2. When all the hints that they're really not that into you appear and somebody's 2 stupid to see
3. When you're the one that keeps sacrificing time, energy, and feelings in the relationship...and nothing good comes of it
4. When one person is obviously being mis-treated

One where one partner spends more time talking online to others than talking to partner. Exspecially if they are married.
