Dear Jojo,
The debate between you and the bear posted the difference in
thinking between the genders.
I find that the methodlogy is meant to woman who knows what they
want and knows how to react and response to the needs of a
relationship.
But on the other hand, there are woman whom are young and demanding
hence there may be a need of change in the method used. The ideal
case is also 50/50 but it really depends on both parties
expectations of how much is equal.
Whereas, pride is nothing at certain pt of time, but a man without
pride is like a man without confidence. The hard thing is to
standing firm on his ground and convince the other party about the
rational. Any misalinement will cause the relation to feel a strain
and failed in a long run.
As for the TS, what matters is, are you confortable with her
personality and demands? If not, this relation will fail in times
to come.
We are who we are. We come in a package. Take it or leave it. There
is no point to change another person.
