Equal Measures

It takes a strong man to handle a strong woman.

Wait. Before you roll your eyes and mutter “So what else is new?”, think about it. Why is it that some men have to compensate for their inferiority complexes by maltreating their partners? One husband gives his beautiful wife reason to doubt her looks and appeal to other men. Some boyfriend picks at his girlfriend’s self-esteem and does his best to whittle away her independence. Yet another dude habitually pummels his significant other then begs for forgiveness later (or not, depends). Why? Why??

Simple. They don’t belong together. He’s out of her league. After all, if you don’t feel threatened by someone, why would you attack that person at any and every chance you get? If you’re compelled to maintain the upper hand in order to feel secure in your relationship, obviously you’ve got problems and they ain’t with your partner.

Anyway, I was just thinking. Equal measures. Strong and weak do not go well together. Not healthy at all.

It takes two equals to make a good match, and that’s the honest truth. So if you do not measure up, improve yourself. Making the other person pay for your deficiency is just petty, wrong,  even juvenile. So grow and get your act right.
