Its more of a metaphor, but does every relationship have a caller and a receiver dynamic?
One side thinks they talk too much one side thinks they don't talk enough, one side think they hang out too much one side think they don't hang out enough, one side is always the hero one side is always the villain.
these roles are obviously not always assigned to a specific gender, though its true depending on your sex, your more likely to take on certain role in the relationship.

as for me, I feel like I'm the receiver. Its not that I don't call my girlfriend, but I don't think I feel the same necessity, the fervor, she feels about it. Its not just because I'm a guy, it has to do with our upbringing. She calls her mom 5 times a week, I call my parents once every 5 weeks... she "expect" things of me, I have no standards for her. etc etc.
Discuss? does it exist? is there a perfect balance or is the best we can do is give and take?
