What are your thoughts on the idea that all intimate relationships are uneven- that is, one person loves more than the other? Do you think it really just comes down to one party being more confident and the one with less self esteem just believes they couldn't be as valuable as their partner?
I have been married to the man of my dreams for 3 years, I have complete trust and security, but I am certain I love him more than he loves me. I think he could walk away unharmed if we split, and often wonder if he has just settled for me. I live in fear that secretly he yearns for an ex or just regrets his decision to marry me but is too loyal to ever tell me. Am I just being a dick?

The woman generally always cares more and loves deeper than the man.

Can you elaborate? Is it a gender thing? Are men are always semi detached in case something better comes along? Are you a male?

What makes you so certain that you love him more than he loves you? Maybe he's just not as good at showing it as you.

Sorry, I realise that's a heap of questions, but I'm hoping for something more than a theory, or at least a theory with a logical explanation.

No. It varies from person to person. Some guys don't get too attached and get bored of the girl they're with after a while, but girls do the exact same thing. On the other end of the spectrum, you've got guys who get super attached and are destroyed when a girl ends things with them, and the same goes for women.
It's probably more of a person to person variable than a gender one.

I guess that's the issue- his lack of 'showing it' combined with my shitty self esteem is probably what has led me to conclude it is so, but I'd like other people's input on the matter, because the idea itself intrigues me

Someone always loves more, but I don't think its dependent on gender.
Its easier for a man (or woman) to believe males (or females) have deeper feelings for their partner. This is why there are faggots like >>18036160 & >>18036162 . Its just easier to sympathize with the same sex.

I personally don't believe gender plays a part in it, but I definitely think there's a possibility that one person would feel more intensely than the other. I have been in a relationship where the tables were turned and recall feeling responsible for all of his emotions all the time. It can be draining and although I was faithful and we had a great relationship, I do feel a slight pang of pity for him. Now that I'm the more obviously loving partner, I can understand how the ex felt unstable in his worth to me
