A relationship is a dynamic partnership and is founded on mutuality and shared experience. Nevertheless, there are also those individuals who in unconsciously adopting a protagonist mentality, perceive their relationship as a narrative whose main, most significant figure is them. The partner turns into an assistant role- a co-star whose role is to promote the central plot. This point of view distorts the relationships so that an emphasis is laid on the story of an individual rather than the actual life of the couple. This individualistic model is the first thing to note in order to be able to develop a truly fair relationship.
