Your comment on how your straight friends complain to you about their boyfriends really struck me. I think it is just another aspect of the typical feminine gender role; women talk and discuss with men. There were countless personal accounts in our book of men who couldn't understand why all their girlfriends wanted to do was talk about their relationships and women who got mad at their boyfriends who did not want to talk out an issue. I really applaud what you said about you and your girlfriend agreeing that if you had any issues, you would discuss it with each other first and not other friends. I think communication is the key to a successful relationship and I must sadly admit that I am finding that my fiance and I do not have the best communication skills.
I also find it interesting about your roommate asking which one of you wore the pants in your relationship. I never really considered myself and my fiance equals. Ironically, I always kind of say that I wore the pants in this relationship. I think that's mostly because I'm high strung and he's so passive that he lets me "rule the roost" so they say because I'm happier when I'm in control.
