let's go through my 3 boyfriends...

with me and cancer it was pretty equal i guess. there was no power struggle and no one trying to dominate the other. i dunno, we were both teenagers.

totally different story with my libra though. we were both very dominant and would butt heads constantly. we didn't fight a lot or anything but we both were just stubborn and very head strong. he would forget that i only like to be "taken" in the bedroom but don't try it outside of it! loads of respect between us though. i loved how manly he was and he was the best lover i've had yet.

i'm with a taurus now. i definitely wear the pants here. it kind of gets to me sometimes. i make all the decisions and he caters to my every whim. sure, some females think that sounds great but i'm not one of them. he's openly admitted to being very passive so i guess i should have known better. i do love how sweet, loyal, and generous he is. he definitely puts me on a pedastal. i just wish he wouldn't place himself beneath me.

I am a Pisces. Normally, I've worn the pants. I was with an Aries. I pretty much ran it. Same with a Taurus.

They both kind of knew it.
But I'd let them get away thinking they had the pants. Like, "oh you pick the movie" etc. 😛



Now I'm with a Cancer, and I'm pretty good with just letting him run it. I guide him in the direction I want, if I have to. But mostly I just let him do what he wants.


I think the difference, with the Aries and Taurus, both of them were a lot less mature than I was at the time. Also, both of them tended to do drugs, and stupid shit if they weren't watched. (I was 16 with the Aries, he was 18. I was the same age as my Taurus, I actually wanna say I was older by a month.)

My cancer is four years older, and we kind of hit at closer maturity levels. (18 and 22.) I'm not constantly worried about him.

So I don't really know if I can blame the stars so much, as the ages.

50/50 is absolutely absurd to say, in my opinion.


You do in the relationship what is your place to do, while allowing the other to do in the relationship what is theirs to do, if you plan on having a relationship, rather than an arrangement which is proposed here by saying 50/50.

If you are stronger by 70% , or weaker by 60% , or smarter in math by 95% or dumber in electronics by 23% or any "place" within the relationship .... then this is the position you will take if you plan on actually having a relationship, instead of an arrangement.

I'm taking this question to mean "who most often gets his/her way?"

Me: Gemini

With the Gemini ex- He did- Because I was was easy-going and he wasn't
With the Libra ex - I did - he wasn't good with decisions
With the Pisces ex- He did- I was in love and he wasn't, which gave him the emotional power

Now with Scorpio husband- neither- it's truly a balance. Each of us sometimes tests the boundaries of our pants-wearing (especially him) and we always get gently reminded that we're not the one solely in charge. I don't think he would respect me if I let him always get his way, and I know I wouldn't respect him if he let me walk on him.
