We exist in a constant power struggle, it is about even keel.

I'm more dominant. It's really all I know.

I don't like those terms actually, I think a couple should be equal partners but in this particular case, I am more submissive at times while he is more dominant.

It goes either way, but she's pretty bossy.

I'm way more submissive. It's like I'm Gollum from Lord of the Rings.
Male, <20 years, Dating, CA, US • • Comment

I guess it depends, but I generally gravitate toward submissive. I actually don't think I like that very much.

dominant - i feel like he doesn't know
Female, 36-40 years, Dating, CA, US • • Comment

Submissive, and it sucks.
Male, >50 years, Married, VT, US • • Comment

very dominant
Female, 31-35 years, Engaged, OH, US • • Comment

Submissive (used to be dominant). I'd rather be submissive than produce an insincere/fake front. I believe the one who tries to dominate and hold an alpha position is worried about the unknown latter. I believe this is a cowardly role to inhabit.
Male, 41-50 years, Dating, OK, US • • Comment

Yes. Fine.
Female, 41-50 years, Married, CA, US • • Comment

I am very submissive...I do not like it because I do not like not being in control of what is going on, but on the other hand I like knowing I am safe with him.
Female, <20 years, Dating, PA, US • • Comment

Submissive and I'm perfectly okay with it. I like to feel safe.
Female, 41-50 years, Married, IL, US • • Comment

Probably equal footing. When one starts to become dominant, generally leads to a fight.

In grander scheme of things, I am probably more demanding.
Male, 41-50 years, Engaged, IL, US • • Comment

I am much more dominant.
Male, >50 years, Married, TX, US • • Comment

It depends on the situation. I don't like to be dominant too much, though. I'd like to have a balance.
