I had read about this and I saw it on this tv show. On how one partner feels as if she "mothers" the other one. Making it almost like a mother daughter relationship. Where one partner tells the other one what to do an takes the lead role but how does that work in a lesbian relationship?
Well even in a man/woman relationship one is going to be more dominant than the other (sometimes it's the man, sometimes the woman). So the same thing happens in a lesbian relationship.
