Balancing Masculine and Feminine Energies for a Harmonious Relationship

The second stage is when two forces collide.
We argue about even the smallest most trivial things - fighting, court battles, etc.
Only then when both partners are willing to work through the issues together that the foundation of understanding begins to form. This is where you get to feel the storm subsides.

The third stage is where real love emerges where both of you learned to solve problems without shouting or arguing, you understand how to treat each other with respect and compassion, you recognize each other’s strengths and vulnerabilities and your bond deepens as you grow together this is where you truly get to know and appreciate the deeps of your love.

The key is you allow it to happen, you will get hurt but you shouldn’t stop from there.

Love isn’t hidden somewhere it was always inside us. Everybody has it. It is highly contagious and once release it cannot be stop (even a strongest storm cannot stop it).

It can affect anyone, including your Ex.

I agree.

I’ve deeply reflected on my patterns in past relationships and realized that I tended to walk away when things got tough, instead of embracing the challenges and working through them to reach the depth of love that’s always present within.

This current guy I am talking to has really got me thinking of my ex fiancé even more.

I wish I hadn’t left the way I did. I see him every week cuz our daughter and you know my story already. I don’t need to repeat it.

We get along much better now.

Let Love decides for you and you never regret it.

Love Bomb, Love Bomb for Humanity is not for nothing.

I had a lot of shortcomings in my relationship, and I cross path with one of my Ex GF (Ex when both of you had a terrible break up, former is when you end up as good friends), she was there and I know she noticed me, I went into the other side of the building to hide.

I imagine a surge of energy coming from my heart as it flows outward (it is best to sit down doing this), as I closed my eyes I visualize her, and feel her. The picture gets clearer as you practice this more often. When I come out she just hug me, then she was surprise in what she’s doing. I invite her for lunch and we come along as if good friends - just to make the story very short.

LBFH is like a cupid arrow but I don’t make assumption, I just watch something to happen.

Love only chooses what is best for you.

I’ve noticed that playful mocking can sometimes help bring awareness to behaviours rooted in wounded energy, but it has to come from a loving place. For example, the guy I’m seeing once said, “I’ve done nothing to deserve this,” and honestly, it felt like something one of my kids would say. I couldn’t help but tease him a little and mirror it back to him. I wasn’t trying to shame him, just reflect how it sounded.

Instead of it turning into a productive conversation, though, he got short with me and then went silent. The next day, he accused me of being the one who was silent, even though I was just giving him space and being myself.

The thing is, I naturally lean into leadership, so when I sense a lack of confidence or grounded energy in a man, I tend to step into my masculine qualities. I take charge and carry the weight because it feels like someone has to. But lately, I’ve been opening myself up to leaning more into my feminine qualities, which means trusting, allowing, and letting go of the need to control.

Mocking can be helpful sometimes to lighten the mood and point out what’s happening, but it also brings up deeper issues that need healing. I’ve realized that when the balance is off, it can make me take on roles I don’t always want, and moving forward, I want to lean into creating more space for my feminine energy to flow naturally.

Maybe this is another lesson/catalyst experience for me.

I do feel more love for my “former” fiancé and dreamed of him last night. He texted me this morning.

Showing others peoples weakness through mockery is one of the forms. Another is respectful communication. You can use many ways depending on who that person is and how much you do or do not respect them. If you mock someone, you most likely don’t respect them much. And frankly, they probably don’t put down their foot to even gain that respect to begin with. If they would, you’d either stop or they would leave. But that approach isn’t for everyone. Some people just like being suckers. It’s easier to be stepped on sometimes than to assert yourself. Conflict can scare many and so many suffer by being mistreated by choice. Disrespecting a loved one though… mocking them, is a weakness of character and I’d say a space for improvement. It’s not “bad”. We all probably do it or used to do it etc. Certainly. Some shadow work for what the reason is could help you slowly reduce it. To strengthen your own character. Either way you have nothing to lose. Or not depending on what you want.

I’m referring to playful mocking though. I just feel this ongoing lingering sense of annoyance within the dynamic, but then there’s a part of me that’s intrigued. Idfk ! I am still going to meet in person at the end of the month and see how I feel then.

I do feel that if he tried to put his foot down with me, I would probably assert dominance. It seems like that’s what’s happening here!

I want to surrender and soften, allowing the man to lead in ways that are complimentary and we play on each other’s strengths and all that!

Edit: playful teasing is maybe the more appropriate way to explain it, rather than mocking.

I don’t find myself having this experience with most people.

I’ve done plenty of shadow work.

@Malkuth spoke on another thread about depression and shadow work.

I grew up experiencing mild depression and felt highly introspective and felt things very deeply. I embraced melancholy emo states quite passionately back as a teenager and young adult. I also identified as a Highly Sensitive Person with psychic and intuitive gifts, which I saw as curses.

Now in my late 30’s I feel pretty solid and definitely look within and check in with my inner world, mentally emotionally and spiritually. I mostly take responsibility when I’m being a biach, though I sometimes don’t think I need to apologize when it’s necessary to be this way.

I don’t feel that I have weakness of character.

This could just be incompatibility and also I’ve had some recon since this relationship after listening to one loop of HS last month.

There is truth in here.

It’s also true that the backside of humor is fear.

Fear is the ass of humor.

That’s not an indictment.

Fear is part of life.

Humor gives us a way to continue talking about things that we’re scared about.

Fear is the backside of humor.

And often, Anger is the backside of Fear.

So the way it (sometimes) works is, someone does something that irritates me. I’m angry. But I’m afraid to express that. So I push it down and instead of feeling angry, now I just feel afraid. Don’t like that much, so I re-label it as ‘a little uncomfortable’.

Then I make a joke to relieve the discomfort.

But don’t misinterpret this to mean that all of this is wrong. It’s not. What’s wrong is to work one’s hardest to remain as unaware as possible of any of this.

More to say……

Immature masculinity often stems from unhealed wounds or a lack of strong role models. It shows up as emotional reactivity, blame-shifting, or an inability to take responsibility. Instead of being grounded and steady, it operates from a place of survival, letting emotions dictate actions. In relationships, this can create an imbalance. The feminine, sensing a lack of confidence or stability in her partner, may feel compelled to step into her masculine energy to compensate. While this may feel necessary in the moment, it often pulls her away from her natural flow of trust and openness.

Sometimes, this imbalance leads to conflict. Immature masculinity may misinterpret the feminine’s leadership as controlling or difficult, labeling her as “bratty.” There can even be a desire to “put her in her place,” which only deepens the disconnect. What I’ve learned is that understanding these dynamics doesn’t mean enabling them. Immature masculinity reflects inner wounds that need healing, and while compassion is important, it’s just as crucial to hold boundaries and not take on the emotional work they need to do for themselves.

For the masculine to evolve and restore balance, it requires developing emotional regulation. This means learning how to process emotions without reacting impulsively or blaming others. It also means taking responsibility for actions and cultivating confidence through self-trust. Building a steady presence and being grounded and engaged in the moment is essential for both partners to feel supported. And most importantly, healing unresolved wounds is necessary to break the cycle of immature patterns.

Healthy masculinity is rooted in emotional regulation, responsibility, and self-awareness. It creates a safe space for the feminine to lean into her softness and authenticity. When both energies are balanced, relationships feel aligned and fulfilling, with each partner empowered in their role. Real growth comes from a willingness to look inward. For the masculine, this means developing the strength to regulate emotions, lead with integrity, and stand grounded in confidence. This kind of growth transforms relationships and creates lasting harmony between the masculine and feminine.

Immature femininity often stems from unhealed wounds, societal conditioning, or a lack of positive role models. It can show up as emotional instability, manipulation, or excessive dependence on others for validation. Instead of embodying her natural flow and intuitive power, the immature feminine often operates from a place of neediness and external validation. She may seek reassurance, approval, or comfort from her partner rather than finding strength within herself.

In relationships, this imbalance can create frustration. The feminine may lean too heavily on her partner for emotional support or to solve her problems, making the relationship feel one-sided. This dependency can also manifest as passive-aggressive behaviour or emotional manipulation, using emotions to control or avoid conflict rather than addressing issues head-on. The key to shifting out of this pattern is self-awareness and self-empowerment.

The immature feminine often seeks validation from outside sources, but true growth comes from cultivating self-love and inner strength. Instead of relying on others to fix her or make her feel worthy, she learns to validate and nurture herself. This doesn’t mean abandoning vulnerability or tenderness, but rather embracing her own inner power and responsibility for her emotional well-being.

For the feminine to evolve, she needs to develop emotional maturity. This includes learning to communicate openly and honestly, without manipulation or emotional games. It also involves embracing her independence and knowing that her worth is not defined by anyone else’s actions or approval. Empowered femininity creates space for both partners to thrive, encouraging balance and harmony in the relationship.

Healthy femininity is rooted in self-awareness, emotional regulation, and self-love. When the feminine is aligned with her own strength, she naturally invites a partner who can meet her at the same level, creating a balanced, fulfilling dynamic. Real growth comes from standing in her worth, embracing her power, and finding strength within. This leads to healthier, more harmonious relationships where both partners can shine in their authentic roles.

I realize how vulnerable I feel sharing everything in this thread.

I nearly deleted it all, but instead, I chose to hold space for myself and honour what I was feeling.

This is a subject with so many complexities and nuances, especially when it comes to masculine and feminine energy, and I truly appreciate hearing others’ input.

Navigating dating again after all that I’ve been through in my past with that narcissist and all the love I still hold for my former fiancé has really got me digging deeper into myself, exploring, and understanding things differently.

I’ve decided to let it stay as it is.

This feels like a safe space to share, and I’m deeply grateful.

i would call it being sarcastic. I surround myself with people who love huge doses of sarcasm.

And if I dish out sarcasm, I expect the same back to me. No hard feelings. It has worked so far for me.

Mocking and sarcasm are slaps.

Light slaps, sometimes.

Boxers and fighters slap each other without getting upset. They know that it could have been a punch. This is just a friendly reminder to stay alert, from one fighter to another.

If a fighter slaps a non-fighter, the non-fighter will probably get scared and upset.

We can understand why that might be.

The non-fighter may not perceive it as the intended friendly invitation to alertness.

But here’s where the fighter’s fear comes into the picture.

Women test their partners’ masculinity; but those same exact women are afraid of being abandoned or being alone.

That part doesn’t seem so funny and playful, does it?

So we have this playful serious dance between my vulnerability and yours.

No real right answers here.

We just try to accommodate and learn each other.

I used to do this a lot, feeling the confusion of swinging back and forth, caught in the push pull dynamic.

Now, I’ve learned to enjoy being on my own, so if someone joins my life, it would be a bonus rather than a necessity. I want to ensure it’s a bonus that truly adds value, and that’s where the testing comes in.

At the same time, it’s probably helpful if men can recognize and respect the very real warrior’s spirit that exists within femininity.

It’ll stop us from being too complacent and then getting blindsided.
