The power issues in a relationship are starting to get to you. It looks like maybe you could use a break from one of the partnerships you're trying so hard to keep in balance. The other person just isn't willing to work with you on this thing, and they lack a deep understanding of what you really need, despite the fact that you've tried to tell them about it time and time again. It's not the end of things, but it is a sign that you both need your space for a while.
