"you firmly communicate that you are in abundance and you are in control of the relationship."
Clear communication isn't enough. They can sign an agreement in blood and then claim later it was under duress. I'm not denying your personal experience but never get lulled into thinking that just because you talked things through and she seemed okay with it that she won't try to renegotiate or guilt-trip you later. You're in control only insofar as you got her to agree to a consolation prize.
Women always play the victim card. They'll say they were so in love that they couldn't let you go and if you were a real man™ you would have done it for them rather than exploiting the situation. They don't want to take responsibility for their own actions.
