Re: ThE Brides BAg...
except you should'nt have to struggle for each other's love and appreciation especially not right from the get-go with newlyweds! its kind of cynical. also, sometimes too much struggle just ain't worth it, you know? it could backfire and cause resentment.
as for limits... i'm curious, set limits on/for what- sex, children, finances, all of the above, none of the above? it seems the question is, are you raising a child, or are you an equal in your marriage and expect your husband to treat you equally as well? maybe i'm being too literal and so don't understand what you're saying. sahar/hin, please explain?
p.s: yes, that icon did make me laugh. again. :p
What I meant is negotiating together in subtle ways how you want to be treated. I don't think it's about being competitive or patronizing, but with any relationship the two people need to set up and reconsider expectations of each other.
