"One stereotypical dysfunctional marriage is the assertive wife and submissive husband. He is miserable, she doesn't respect him. "
Ditto vice versa, though. Assertive Husband and submissive wife. She's miserable and he doesn't respect her. Either way it's wrong. Difference is that HE may have the final say on some matters (SOME matters). However, if HE makes HER feel submissive, at least in MY house, HE is history.
I didn't pick him because he's bigger. I picked him because he's WARMER.
My feet get cold.
