Relationship leverage describes the balance of power between partners. It’s about the dominant role in relationships. The one who has the last word most of the time. This balance can shift for a number of reasons. Illness, or unemployment for example can change the balance of power between partners.

Short for converter gear. A set of wheels, dolly or a bogie, that connects and supports two semi trailers (three in some states) as doubles or triples. The word people commonly use to describe big rigs, semi, actually means semi trailer. A semi trailer is supported by it's back wheels, with a truck tractor (the technical for a truck cab) a full trailer is supported by its own wheels, front and rear, being towed or connected to a truck cab. People misuse the word semi, thinking it describes a tractor trailer when in fact the semi is only a detachable cargo carrier, not connected to the power unit/tractor. That's why its called a semi trailer. A full trailer only needs to be pulled behind a vehicle, it supports itself. With two semi trailers they need a set of wheels between them, an axle for the back trailer. A con gear is an independent set of wheels, when detached, interchangeable if it needs repairs. A con gear can weigh as much as a car and sometimes needs to be moved or positioned by the driver.
