Well, you seem to want "control", why do YOU want it? Why can't we just be partners, and work things out together? When one person is too controlling/needy, it is a stumbling block to a mature, fulfilling relationship. Try letting go a little, don't sweat the small stuff, and give the other person the space and respect they deserve. Adults need the freedom to make their own best decisons, that's the secret of a happy relationship. Good Luck

In my case, I had to. My husband was not responsible enough to "Head" our family.
I am dating a guy that is very strong now. I have to admit that I really like relinquishing some of the control. I never wanted to be in charge of everything.
I truly think marriage is a partnership, but I do feel that the man is the head of the family. I know it is an old-fashioned view but according to my faith is also the correct one. That does not mean that I do not have an opinion though!
If a man takes care of his wife and his family in such a manner that earns the respect of the wife and children then his wife should lovingly submit to him..

Because some of us are in "female led" relationships - and both the female and the male are quite happy ad content living that way. Look around you - how many doomed "male led" traditional relationships do you see? Female superiority is a natural order - the patriarchy is failing - the brute strength of the male is no longer needed. We smarter than you, we live longer and we are better at relationships. We're graduating way more girls from college now than men - we'll be running the world in short order! So get with the program - surrender the control to the woman in your life! And thank her

not me.. it is 50/50 here.. and it took me a year to get it that way.. my bf when he moved in .. both of his ex's were like that and he would not even tell me what he wanted for dinner.. he could not drive.. he had no license..his SS was stolen and someone got license in his name.. and were trying to straighten all that out.. but he was so use to depending on someone and having them make all the discussion that it was almost as if he had no voice at all.. that is until he would be drunk and the depression would hit.. then he would yell and scream.. after about a year of getting use to living with someone who gave him a fair share he settle down..not more yelling.. and he voices his oppion on things and we decide together on what we do..i put him on my checking account a couple of months ago.. the first time he was ever put on one. he did not even know how to work a check book much less write a check.. and he is 31..i don't want a child i want a partner

I don't wear the pants in my family....my hubby does and I prefer it that way. Nothing turns me off more than a man that is willing to be bossed around by a controlling woman. I wear the skirt.......the short black kind that shows just enough when I bend to get dinner out of the oven....Hehe.
To sAm - That is sad and pathetic. It should, at the very least, run both ways....with both partners contributing equally. A marriage is a partnership. Maybe that was harsh....I guess if you are happy, who am I to judge?

Crone here honey......I was going to skip this question till I saw it was you.....Well, Well...why do we ladies insist on wearing the pants in the family? Because some of you guys have a reckless idea of what "trust" is and we'd just as soon be in control as have our future in hands of someone who might....just might....get a hair cross-ways and take us on a ride we'd just as soon not go on. I mean that in a metaphoric sense hon.....sorry to be critical but that is the honest way I see it... nothing personal....Blessed Be...

I would do anything to get rid of my pants.
Unfortunatly, my husband thinks that his working is enough of a contribution to our family. Someone has to pay the bills, take care of the kids, keep the house up.
My answer, some women don't have a choice.

Yea I think some do it for control.
Some of us have to do it, or listen to you men whine about things cause you don't have enough guts to tell people what you really think.
Response to your email below tired to send it but it came back
I think you have guts or you wouldn't have responded
to me. Good for you keep it up.
On the part him not having guts I have learned what he
is doing and now what I do is tell him to say
something and quit whinning to me, cause it is not my
problem. So I have learned just took me a long time.

Because there are those women out there who prefer to have their lights and water on, food in the fridge, and clean clothes. Trust me.. if I waited around on my husband to sit down and write out bills.. I'd be waiting a long time. A woman is going to do what she HAS to do to keep her house running. If a man isn't going to do it.. then who's going to do it? The "Cleaning, Bill writing, diaper changing Fairy" ?

I think it is very satisfying to serve a dominant lady. I was trained as a housemaid by such a lady
