I'm just not every demanding. I was always very shy which has turned into reserve as an adult. I don't have super strong opinions on most things (except Trump but that's unusual for me). I HATE confrontation. I'm not competitive at all.

I married a man who is very competitive and aggressive by nature. He hates to lose at anything, even board games, which is crazy to me that anyone cares about stuff like that, lol. He makes most of the decisions concerning our lives, taking into consideration my input, and we've both been happy about this situation for a long time. We're coming up on our 12th wedding anniversary. However, a friend's husband died recently and I realized that if that happened to me I'd be SOL because there are sooooo many things that I rely on my husband for. He takes care of all our financial paperwork, taxes, house and yard stuff, our cars, etc. When we go somewhere, he always drives. I decide where we should travel but then he arranges all the details and takes care of the paperwork. He's older than me and has always been a high earner so he's always paid for everything. My name wasn't even on the deed to our first house because I was so young when we bought it and didn't have a source of income or even a credit history. Really my only domain where I take care of the details is the kids and I keep him updated on all that stuff.

We have a happy strong married but yeah I realize that I am probably unusually reliant on him. I'm not sure why I am this way as I had a good, happy childhood, etc. I guess maybe I was too sheltered? I'm used to having someone else take care of me. I married my husband at 24 and lived with him for two years before that so this is all I've known pretty much. I went from my parents' house, to college, to my husband's house. I've never lived on my own.


Count yourself lucky as hell. Your life sounds amazing.

But it definitely can't hurt to start to try to learn more about the logistics of life, especially if your husband is older as you say. It might make you feel good to start to expand your horizons, but what a luxury to be able to do it at your own pace! Enjoy!


I know a woman like this. She is crazy in love with her husband and very consciously picked him to marry due to his ambition, drive and type A competitive personality.

In response, she is very submissive. He decides everything and gets everything his way. He always earns a lot of money.

I'd be a lot more submissive if I didn't have to oversee all household repairs, staff, vacations, childcare plus earn a substantial part of the income. It's hard to be the adoring, obedient wife when you're doing much more than your share.

My DW and I have been married more than 30 years. I wanted to marry a smart, opinionated, independent and attractive woman and I got it in spades. She was ambitious and career oriented yet at the same time loving and an amazing mother. The idea of marrying a submissive lightweight is foreign to me. I like being married to a woman smarter than me. She really makes me think. And, after all these years she very good in bed!

The dynamics of our relationship is ever changing, depending upon the topic or area of our life. Sometimes I lead and sometimes she leads, the power shifts, it works well for us. There are times we may not agree, but being respectful of each other and discussion is key.

The bedroom is much the same, depending on mood. Sometimes I like to let her wear the pants just so I can take them off.

For me, I like her being strong and opinionated, it leads to good conversation and fun. She is often the life of the party and all of our family & friends enjoy time with us, because you never know what next we might say or do.

No offense but what does your husband get out of this deal?


I have no doubt he has a great sex life with his wife.

Or with his AP, to whom PP turns a blind eye.

My wife and I compliment each other. She is a SAHM, she runs the house and domestic stuff. I run the finances and have the career. She is more type A than me.

We are both easy going by nature. If I want to go out after work, or she wants to take a girls weekend, sure, have at it. I wouldn't match well at all with a domineering type-A controlling, opinionated woman. I prefer gentle and kind, but that doesn't make her a doormat.

If a man in a situation like this is cheating, it is likely not with one AP. It is much more likely with randoms on occasion, and women have a lot easier time turning a blind eye to that.

He's prone to delusions of grandeur and white lies. He has a good job though. He married a very pretty, but essentially opinion and temper free, woman in her mid 20's, who basically caters to his needs. He kind of belittles her at times, but is generally caring. To the guys out there who are in long term relationships or have been married for a while and the power dynamics are different, and actually equal, or flipped the other way, where the woman is moodier, or more type-a, or demanding than you are...do you wish you'd married someone more docile, agreeable, etc? Someone who would let you lead? This is just a random poll and not an admission that I consider a doormat perfect wife material. Just wondering if you're like "hmm, that could seem less stressful now that I think about it." Anyway, I'm sure there will be some people flaming away at this post.


Married to a very pretty woman who is always agreeable? Assuming this also applies in the bedroom, sign me up!!!
Sure beats being married to a SuperMOM who is all about the kids, gained 40 pounds, wears frumpy clothes, lost her libido and rejects mine.

I dated long term a very alpha female who had her own business, was a hardline negotiator, and could use any power tool made.

But at home she was e tremely submissive, even more so in bed. It was a fascinating contrast. She eventually married an investment banker and became a society girl - very odd, but it's what her husband wanted and she complied.

She was massive crazy though.

He's a narcissist. This is the kind of woman these men seek out. And these types of women are drawn to these men. Usually disastrous in the end.

I was thinking this too. I wouldn't have thought to look for this in my early 20s but someone pretty who keeps herself up, is pretty much always agreeable, and puts out whenever I'm in the mood? Sign me up. I have to do most of the above stuff anyway in our house.

I think there is some confusion of what submission is.

Submission should not mean the husband ( in this case) belittles the wife, doesn't respect her time, is unkind and not respectful.

Submission should not mean the man does not consider the needs and wants of the wife ( and children) when making choices.

Submission should not mean he has to have things go his way or it;s a met don.

It's not too late to change that dynamic a bit if you want to. I say this as someone with a mother who was like you. She has no idea about finances, taxes etc. She is 60 ( with hopefully a lot of years left), but it hit her hard when my dad's health failed.
Caused alot of additional family stress at a time when additional stress wasn't needed.
Your husband can still take the lead on things, but it shouldn't be an issue for him to include you on the details, so you are not left lost and in the dark if something happens.
