When someone has some type of control over some part the other person’s life – that’s a power imbalance. The real issue isn’t during the relationship, but afterwards. The person without the power may feel like they have to stay in the relationship. For example: a professor and a student (professor can make class difficult for student or even alter student’s grade.) or a manager and a worker (manager can change person’s schedule or otherwise f*** up the worker’s job/pay)
