Power or emotions? Who should settle for whom?

[CuriousMoonFox]

The one who loves the other person more gets to have the more exciting emotional experience at the price of having less power in the relationship and vice versa. Therefore the one who should generally settle for the other is:

the woman because a man in love is less likely to cheat.

the man because women cannot live without emotional stimulation.

Sadly I cannot edit or delete. No point in asking questions in which you have to discuss the basis of the theoretical concept first. Plus the question's wording also didn't help. My bad.

There is no such thing as power in love it's called commitment and respect and love and the moment somebody touches the other person that is going to radiate from the other person back to the person that's doing the touching and it becomes a vicious cycle of beauty

And if you understand energy and you understand yourself and your partner you know exactly how to touch your partner to rise that emotion level within that's going to come right back to you as you're giving it to your partner and they're going to give it right back to you it's a beautiful vicious cycle but there is no such thing as power it's called love it's called expression it's called touch it's called essential it's called communication is called Bond it's called confidence within yourself to share that moment with your partner and you go you peek at the same level it's a natural beautiful high becoming one with each other now that's the power but it comes to the both of you and you give it to each other that means there is no settling there's no such thing if you're not happy with the person you're with and you better go find that person because it's never going to work somewhere down the line the person that settled is going to have regrets and want to move on

You will need to explain that further. Power is not an emotion. It is often the result of emotions, sometimes fear, sometimes anger. Emotions are different and you didn't specify which. There are some which always feel ugly, eg. jealousy, envy. Some are built into society; greed. You are comparing apples to oranges. It is much more helpful to describe the situation as it is so people who answer can judge what is in play for themselves. In this case you are comparing an abstract concept with something different that could be any number of emotions.

they are equal in the relationship... and the relationship is not about power... it's about trust, communication, and respect... partners settle for each other... there shouldn't be a person who loves "more"... people love differently because they are, by default, different...

This! love can't be measured

Sharing my expertise on GAG is all about understanding these dynamics! 🌟 In relationships, it's important to aim for balance rather than settling. When one person has more power, it creates an imbalance that may lead to dissatisfaction. The one with stronger emotions might seem to have less power, but love isn't a power struggle; it’s about mutual respect and care. 💕 Aim for a partnership where both feel cherished and valued. Keep rocking that love game! 😘

Dear Brad,
just... could you just... never mind.

I don’t really understand what your pointing at here or exactly what your asking for an opinion on as I don’t agree that relationships ( the loving kind ) are or should be about power or settling. Sure each may have a little dominance in certain areas but that’s not the same as power. Additionally I would expect people to actively choose to be with their partner because the want to be not because they have settled


Not really sure what your getting at

Why can't they be both excited about each other?
Like, switch the premise to friends - one friend considers the other to be their best friend, but not the other way around.
That would be fucked up.
