To me, S/X have such hostility towards one another, canonically speaking, that there's no way that it won't be a destructive, power-over relationship.
I have to agree with you - this has always been a major stumbling block for me from a canon perspective. I've read S/X in a manipulative relationship that made sense - but as equal partners? Just can't buy it. Schmoopy Spander never seems to ring true to me.
