In some cases it could be just that the guy wants to be the one to take care or feel hes takin care of everything , hes the man so im sure he may feel to be the dominant one. He might've been raised to be a man that looks after everthying, the one in charge. In other cases, men can take it too far always wanting to be in control of everthing. This is a power/control trip.

Hi, I think it more like guys feel that women like the take charge type of thing but there are women out there that look for it, and with what i know is some women don't like the sensitive guys, "for ex: guy would ask where would you like to have dinner? " where actually women don't answer that question 85% of the time, they leave it to the men. I don't think its and ego thing either, except for a few guys now, before maybe , but not now.
And any relationship needs communications, and if you don't speak your mind (In a nice way please) guys won't know what you might be thinking or what would you like or not! Good Luck, Hope you find what you are looking for...Peace

Because their stupid enough NOT to realize they don't really wear the trousers in a relationship, they only think they do!
Yes, its an ego thing...they got to build up their deflated ego's by thinking they do wear the trousers in a relationship.

If there isn't equal value put on both parties input, regarding things that affect you both, than something is broken.
If it's a matter of one partner taking care of the financial side of the relationship and this has explicitly been agreed upon (say he/she is an accountant, for instance) in that case there will be an apparent imbalance, but that's less about subjugation and more about embracing a skill or aspect that your partner brings to the relationship.
Most problems can be solved through respectful dialogue.

what exactly are you implying, that men should wear skirts.
clearly you are not too well informed, women were always in charge, and now they have been officially given equal status, and life for men is not worth living, because of it. even those who do lots around the house to help, myself included, hovering, wash up, bed making, child minding, etc and that is on top of mowing lawns, maintaining outdoors, repairs etc, WHAT other chores did women get when they got their equality in the home, NONE but men got plenty.
so don't complain, and try the old ego bit, there are a lot of men who work hard both in their job and at home.

It is a stigma that has been portrayed throughout history. When comparing men in present times to those in the past, there is no contest. Many men in todays society have a great deal of insecurity and in turn attempt to make up for their inferiority complex by attempting to take control of the relationship. Feeling in control of the relationship is an attempt to hide their lack of control in their everyday life. They may feel inadequate, but by projecting their inadequacies on those around them gives them a sense of superiority.

My ex husband used to say he wore the pants in the family,I told him which ones. Not really just joking.The man has been chosen head of house hold for many,many years.He was boss and Woman and children did as he said.He was also the bread winner and was the one to take care of his family.Now days it's turned around I think because of woman's lib.which I don't support completely.I still like the man to be the man and open a door for me.Some things are taken to far.I didn't want a mans job either.

It's not an ego thing, it's the right thing!! Your obviously a feminist and think the pants are yours. God forbid a woman plays her role today, right? Does your man wear the dress in the relationship?

To be honest there is no one person who runs a relationship. Each person controlls a certain aspect of the relationship. My boyfriend and I understand that. For example: I run the emotional and logical aspects while he takes care of the physical ( like holding hands and kisses) and time management aspects. For most men though its like a power trip for them. If they're not controlling something it drives them crazy!!
