One person controls a relationship when the other doesn't trust themselves. If you rely on your partner instead of your own judgment, you become easy to manipulate. Self-trust has to come first.
Who do you trust more, yourself or your partner? Self has got to come first. If I trust me, you can't get me to do anything. If I don't trust me and I trust you, I'll do whatever you want. How many of you watch high school relationships where one person clearly owns that relationship? If you've seen it, say seen it. The one person does not trust themselves. It's not good. You want to learn to trust yourself.
