Mind games you will never win in relationships

The modern relationship is nothing but a fierce power struggle. Relationships are meant to be reciprocal, but they always end up as a tug of war. Consequently, it creates all the ridiculous games and tactics we employ: We do not want to be the ones who call first.

We never text the other person first. We would be caught dead making the first move. We pretend that we do not care if our partners call or text us. We want to be the ones who break up with our partner first before they get the chance to break up with us.
