Thoughts on Relationships

[goddessfarmer]

Equality is not about the money, not is it about who does which housework. Equality is a state of mind. It is a state of mind that is less dependant on what you say or how you treat me, and more dependant on how I feel and think about myself. In relationship, equality springs from the heart of each individual into their thoughts, words and deeds. It has never been, nor will it ever be a state that can be dictated or analyzed by anyone external to that relationship. Just as beauty is in the eye of the beholder, so Equality is to the partners in a relationship. That is not to say that every relationship has equality, many don’t. But that no individual external to the relationship can tell for certain about the equality within.

And along the same lines, no one but yourself is responsible for how you feel.
"You made me feel _____" is not the case, but is in fact your own reaction to a situation.
I cannot "make" you feel anything ( in as far as emotions, etc).
"I felt____ when you ____" is taking responsibility fo your own happiness, and your own sorrow as well.
