We talk about the steps you need to follow to understand whether the power dynamic in your relationship is healthy.

<a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/soul-spirituality/soul-mates-navigating-the-cosmic-connection" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Romantic relationships</a> consist of two people working together to make each other's lives better and to be happier than they are. Recognizing, using and celebrating each other's unique strengths is crucial to the well-being of a relationship.

Income fluctuations and career trajectories may enable one person to earn more and be satisfied with their career, while another may experience dissatisfaction with their work life.
Today, we are in a world where women and men achieve equal success and women can finance their homes. This change in dynamic can create power imbalances and related problems even between the most loving couples. In cases where your relationship is heading towards <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/soul-spirituality/5-red-flags-recognize-toxic-friends" target="_blank" rel="noopener">unhealthy</a> areas, there are some signals you are likely to encounter and, of course, solutions.
If the higher earner feels entitled to control financial processes or does not inform their partner about financial decisions, alarm bells may be ringing in the power dynamic in the relationship. Even though society tells us that those who are richer and have higher status are powerful, we should not follow these codes. Important decisions affecting both parties in the relationship should be made jointly, regardless of who earns more.
If a person earns more money than their partner, it is normal to feel like they bear all the burden. However, if there is any underestimation, this should not be ignored. Contempt and disdain is a lack of respect for your partner fueled by anger and is a huge red flag.
This type of problem can lead to greater resentment if it is not discussed and resolved. To prevent this, it is very important to consult your partner's opinions and include them in all important financial decisions by taking advantage of their knowledge and strengths. However, a couple experiencing income inequality may try splitting joint expenses, such as rent or vacation, in proportion to the individuals' income rather than splitting them 50/50. It is important to recognize and appreciate the <a href="https://www.lofficielibiza.com/soul-spirituality/what-is-human-design-how-can-it-help-spiritual-trend" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spiritual</a> contributions of your partner to your relationship, as well as to ensure that responsibilities are distributed in a balanced and fair manner, taking into account the strengths of the partners.
While you are in a period of growth in your career, it can be difficult to see that your partner is experiencing the opposite process and is unhappy. But you must remember that you are both on the same team. You need to be able to celebrate your successes without feeling guilty or worrying about upsetting the other person.
When you notice this problem, you should first express to your partner the changes you see in them and show that you actively listen and understand them without trying to fix them. Then, you can take steps to identify the root causes of the problem, support him/her in transforming the areas under his/her direct control and discovering new areas. It will also be important to encourage them to get support from friends, family, and a therapist or counselor, as well as you, as they create a plan to take control again and sets realistic goals.
