At first the title of this post appears to be quite rude and upsetting but it has lot of truth in it.
Any relationship is very political at a very subtle level. Sometimes we know it, sometimes we don't, sometimes we neglect it and sometimes we think its just natural way to relate.
Any relationship will have a dominant figure and he/she will exploit the other. This guy/gal will always have the upper hand and can play with moods/emotions of the other.
The other person will usually accept this too without lot of complaints (unless both have huge ego, in which case relationship wouldn't go long.)
Every relationship is a kind of exploitation of the other. We might accept it or not. We might realize it or not but sooner or later a relationship is bound to turn highly political and manipulative.
What to say, what not to say ? How to convince and how to fool ? How to please and How to get things done ? and so many other things are running at a very cunning rate in both minds.
I feel guilty of exploiting my partners - most of them and got exploited to certain extend in one case.
Its strange but exploiting other has a very sadistic pleasure, it tells you that you are powerful and you are stronger. It belittles other and reduces them to a puppet of your wish and mood.
That's true as far as my experience goes.
Having said that, I must also put forward my experience (tiny puny only) but where a relationship can be a huge blessing and most beautiful thing in the world.
But it requires immense intelligence, understanding, patience and personal sacrifices which no one wants to take care of.
I wish I become matured enough to relate in true sense not in political sense.
I love you politically.
