When I say jump

Every day, all day - every where at any time there are humans fighting for the power. We, such as animals, have different ways to get to the power. We all either want to be the leader, or follow the leader. 

People who seek for the leader-role, I think, is the sort of the person who talks loudly and isn't afraid of a little quarrel. They want attention, and they need to feel the feeling of being needed and important. People who follow, are often shy and needs a spokesperson. They need someone they can hide behind, or support. 

Relationships are the same. They often have one leader. The leader decides most things. Both might not notice it, but it's there. If the leader doesn't want to see a movie, but stay in and have chinese take-out - the follower, well.. follows. The leader might say that the relationship is build up on equal decisions, but eventually the follower will feel less and less heard. The follower might start resent the leader, and start sulking or whine about other things because of the lack of attention to his/hers life. 

BUT, then again there're relationships were they actually manage to agree about different things. They might agree that in some areas one of them are better to lead than the other person. You never know, every person and couple is different. But, what do you think about it being a leader and a follower in some/most relationships? Do you agree, or do you believe that it there're more relationships were the decisions are made equally?
