week 4 response to Jackie

Im glad to see that you consider yourself and your partner as equal and that neither wear the pants. When I dated my ex-boyfriend he always wanted to be the “man” in the relationship, and he was physically, but realistically I was the one that took care of everything and organized everything that we did. This was frustrating to me because I always thought a relationship involves both of the partners and not just the one. Well to make a long story short, we broke up. Everything that I taught him during our relationship he now does with his current girlfriend which is kind of bitter sweet to me. Im glad he finally grew up and realized how to be a man, but at the same time why did I have to be the one to teach him it?!!? Lol

I find it very realistic that your straight friends complain to you about their boyfriends. Sometimes I wish that all heterosexual relationships were more like the way homosexual individuals carry them out to be. Where each partner has a say and you are both involved equally. I guess it is a little bit easier to have two females in a relationship because we are so open and understand as opposed to a male/female relationship. Then again, what do I know? Im sure you and your girlfriend have the same type of problems as any heterosexual couple, at least you guys solve your problems in a level headed way! Haha Thank you for sharing your story.
