I think equal. We make each other a priority.


Neither. They get put on the back burner. We need to make them more important.


My wife's she has alway gone the length for me and now she wants retaliation for her efforts
It's called reciprocation, not retaliation. People want the same respect, consideration, and effort when they've gone to great lengths. I have put in an immense amount of effort, and if that effort keeps going on without return from the other person, I'll get burnt out. Just about there. You have no idea until you understand and are in my shoes. So the least you could do is try.

Both..?


We should both take priority, it's not just about one person.


Hers


It's equal but it's definitely her.


I think we are good on this cutie :))


Beide


Equal


We definitely give and take. If one of us is down or not feeling 100%, that person's needs will usually take priority.


I don't think this question pertains to us


Hmm, I'd definitely say his! His needs will always be more important than my own


We try to act and treat each other as equals, but as far as scheduling goes, his needs tend to take priority since he's generally busier.


Definitely hers!!
