a good friend of mine once told me that relationships require 3 equal factors: Respect, Love and Honesty. When you lack one of the three then the relationship becomes rocky.

*Looks around for perfectly adjusted humans that aren't over or under confident* .... *fails to see any*....

They want to be equals.
