If everybody is 'messed up' then everybody becomes normal and the term 'messed up' doesn't mean anything anymore.

See, I was prone to making mass generalizations about people and groups way back when, truth is, it doesn't help you any. Individuals are individuals, you can only predict and pre-empt behavior to some extent before you're just throwing speculation to the wind about extravagant matters that in all actuality, really don't exist in any form of measurable solidarity.

So from whatever perspective you look at this matter from, you can't really draw an objective conclusion from it since it is an inherently subjective matter, and arguing the subjective is equivalent to throwing cotton buds at a brick wall in an attempt to knock it over. Nobody is ever going to truly agree on the subjective, since the thing is transient in form between individuals.

However, for situations like workplace equality for women and whatnot, that stuff does have information rooted firmly in the objective, and thus can be argued about to some extent while actually achieving something. That seems to be where the thread is heading anyway.

On the original topic: I think if one person is apologizing more than another in a relationship just to keep the peace there is something wrong with the relationship. If they're apologizing more than the other because they should be, there is something wrong with the relationship. If your partner is subjecting you to ridiculous double standards I don't understand why you put up with it. My husband broke up with his highschool sweetheart after 6 years because he lost every argument for 4 years. We're both stupid and emotional sometimes, and say stuff we shouldn't to each other, but we each come back and say we're sorry. If your partner flipped out, but recognizes the fact, that's just part of two people being around each other a lot (in my experience) but if it is always unbalanced I don't see how anyone could stand it for a prolonged period of time.

Guys get the blame for everything because guys DESERVE the blame for everything. jk. I feel like with a lot of relationships the girl is really in charge so that's probably a big factor.
