not really YOUR partner. more of like OTHER guys. it's acquisition and maintenance.
Be that as it may, when you're in a relationship and you still keep thinking that you have to be the top dog and everyone else--be it your partner or anyone else (
particularly if they have no bearing on your relationship to begin with)--has to be the underdog, I think it's time to seriously re-evaluate your motives and priorities.
Treat your partner with respect, ladies and gentlemen. If you don't, well...confectioner's sugar can mask the flavor of a great many things.
