UPPER HAND

- Prathyusha Talluri

 

GOD gave us 2 hands, not Upper hand and lower hand...Marriage is a balance, any imbalance would definitely cause problems. In a dominant relationship, either the wife or the Husband might stay calm, but they know they are not happy with the dominant partner. Ofcourse, there are people who dont mind being dominated, their love for the other person is such. It doesnot mean, a partner who dislikes to be dominated is not loving the wife/ husband perfectly. 

Times were such in past generations where wives never bothered much if her husband ddn't care for her. There were even wives who dominated badly. I wonder who started it, but there is a fear of being dominated in marriage. Arranged marriages tend to initiate this fear as the partners don't know eachother well. We never know, some Love-marriages change too. But my question is...Why should one dominate, can't there be love and trust ?...We see so many wives complaining even in these times, so many husbands frustrated...their partners don't spare them even in parties and public places, they think it adds weight to their power but that behaviour kills the persons public respect, and the whole family's image.

 
It is so inconvenient for the friends to continue being with them, for new families to make friends with them, either one should be friends with the pitiful wife or husband, and indirectly the dominant character tries to influence the friends of the wife/husband...and they are left isolated....where are we ending finally? The families ruined, no friendly relationships, no happy discussions, no good memories.......who taught that person to be dominant, where did she/he learn that trait from??!!
