Who is in control of your relationship?

I was just wondering what would be much better in a relationship..allowing yourself to be in control or your partner(he) to be in control? since in most cases guys mostly have the most say, should this always be the case?

I have to say, if in a relationship there is always only one of them are in control, that's pretty bad. Things will go bad someday. In my relationships, I'm in control of some matters and my boyfriend is in the leading way for some other matters. But usually, he will obey my words and show respect to me.

With my current relationship, he is in control. I let him be as the guy to be in control of the relationship. With my past relationship, I never allowed to be always submissive. I am very assertive then because it is my personality. Now, it seems I was then searching for someone who can control of me. Now I had found it. I can say that it has to be balanced. Both have to listen each other's point of view on some thing then decide for the best.

i dont think it should be alays guys having the control^^ actually i dont think that someone has to control everything^^ both should tell their opinions and talk about it and both should see whats the best^^ thats the best way to have a relationship^^ talk about things together and decide together^^ in a good relation is necessary that both listen and understand each other^^ and not one saying do like this and other person does. things like that can ruin a relation. so both should listen and see whats the best ^^

Sometimes I take control of the relationship. Taking control of the relationship is the hardest part of it. I think that there should be a balance of control but sometimes it depends on the situation. When someone is older than the other, I think the former will take control of it at first. Then as your relationship grows, then I think that taking control of it will done by both parties.
