I'm not in a relationship myself, but I have a question about what kind of one survives. I have two relationship examples that I know of, and I want to know if my opinion on these two are correct. Both relationships are heterosexual.

The first involves two people who stabbed in the back for standing up for my opinions in front of one of their friends. They have been in a relationship for about 2-3 years. The girl in this relationship is the stronger personality. However, she is not very stable and in the past considered suicide. Also, while the girl is a stronger personality, she wants to be dominated. I get the feeling that this relationship will fall apart eventually.

The second involves to friends who eventually helped me out of the hole created the first couple stabbed me in the back. The personalities of these two are roughly equal in strength.When I first saw them together 3-4 months ago they sit be each other and talk. When I saw them 2 weeks ago however, when one would look at the other they would start smiling and eventually laughing. I think they will stay together for a longer time.

With AS, I think it is important to analyze relationships to learn about them and what to look for. I want to see if your opinions are the same this example.

The first one can only survive if the stronger person makes it clear that she wants to take a break from life and no longer be the stronger one, but to have some be the stronger one. To depend on someone else. If this is fulfilled, it can last.

All relationships need the same thing. All relationships are built on friendships, if you can't see each other as friends and can't trust each other - you won't have a relationship

No one kind of relationship survives; those with communication, acceptance and understanding tend to be more successful, but there is no single progression or designation of roles that denotes that one will last longer or be happier than another. It is finding someone whose strengths and wants match with your own that matters... in my current relationship, there are some decided quirks against the traditional expectation - and it suits us both to the nines.
