Malvika's post made me think of something that happened to my close friend (we'll call him ("Justin"); he had a girlfriend (we'll call her "Natasha") that was pretty timid and he basically had control over the relationship. Everything Justin said pretty much went, and he usually took advantage of Natasha. It was that way for about two and a half years, until Justin ran into some really bad luck and lost his job -- among other unfortunate things that happened.
Anyway, somewhere along the line, Justin fell deep in love with Natasha and they spent "time apart" for another reason. It was so ironic to see the tables turn -- Justin was now the one who would act like a claw (always wanting to be with Natasha), while Natasha seemed more in control of things because at this time, he seemed much more in love with her than she was with him... Which is a really bad situation to be in; but honestly, he deserved it. She'd then intentionally dress more provocatively and go out with friends more often just to get on his nerves. After seeing how much Justin really cared, I guess she used his jealously to manipulate him and bend him to her will.
It was almost like Natasha was a parasite at first, clinging to her host, and maybe because of something she lacked in her life, she was willing to be taken for granted and bear Justin's arrogant attitude. Somewhere along the line, I guess Justin became increasingly dependent on her... For example, if he had a bad day, he could always count on Natasha to boost his self-esteem because she was so in love with him back then. After a while, it seemed like Natasha became the "host", and Justin became the pathetic little parasite without even realizing it, I guess he now became so emotionally dependent on her that he didn't want to be without her. She pretty much had most of the control afterwords; but she soon left him anyway.
