I believe the competitive symmetry would be the most difficult and most damaging type for a relationship. It would be difficult for two people who naturally compete with one another to be able to compromise on most decisions. In this type of relationship the two people involved will compete with each other for the sake of out doing one another. This type of couple would find it hard to admit when they are wrong. When two competitive people are in an argument and one person is wrong the person who is right can rub in their correct decision in the other's face. This out doing each other can be taxing on any relationship. The couples who typically have this dilemma are the one 's who fight all the time.
I think the rigid complementary relationship has the most potential to damaging the self esteem of the people in the relationship. When the people in the relationship resent their status their self esteem can be affected negatively. The person who is dominant will constantly feel like they are the bad guy and the less dominant role feels like they have no say or voice in the relationship. This type of situation doesn't give the freedom for each person in the relationship to have influence and confidence when making decisions.
