Week 7 - Post 2

I think that anyone would agree that having more power might be great at first, but really it does not feel good for all parties involved.  I know that when I feel that I have less power, I get defensive and depending on who has more power I try to act as if I am the one who has the more power.  For example wit parents; as kids we all knew our parents had more power, but we still would try to resist.  That is how we are built.  I think that having an unbalanced power relationship wouldn’t feel good; I think it is hard to have unbalanced power, again depending on the relationship.  If it were your spouse, having an unbalanced power relationship could potentially hurt the relationship.  I know that in certain aspects of my boyfriend and I’s relationship, he or I might have more power.  It depends on the situation and if there is a conflict.  For example I have more power when it comes to paying the bills and he has more power when it comes to what we are watching on TV (he hates my girly shows haha).
