I thoroughly enjoyed our lecture on Tuesday; power is huge in a relationship. I liked to learn about the different bases of influence, but my problem is I always deal with the legitimate influence in my relationship, which we said was somewhat unhealthy. I can see that it’s bad for my boyfriend and me, but I almost don’t know how to fix it. I also have the bad habit of thinking, “what can I get out of this”? The Principal of Least Interest, I have all the power, and while I would like to work on this, I won’t lie, I like having the power. I know it is unhealthy and might eventually ruin our relationship, but that is how things were when I was growing up. Mom had all the power and my parents are really happy still, I just worry about my relationship. I think this sounds a little crazy but what do people think about couples our age going to therapy???
