Relationship leverage 

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.

“She’s so hot, she has relationship leverage.”

“He has relationship leverage, he’s dominant and controlling.”
