[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is my question. This is a family/couples dynamic I have seen play out time and again. Maybe it will help me in my own life.

I'm nice, laidback, easygoing, fun to be around, athletic, smart (I think!?) -- and, somehow, never seem to get a guy to commit. Three of my exes have gone on to marry women who are domineering/bossy (I know this due to mutual friends and actually knowing two of the wives well, still same social circles etc). Like, not mean women, but the guys are on a leash.

My sister has a similar dynamic with her husband! It's always "whatever you say" and *eye roll laugh* "have to ask [sister], she's in charge!"

Do I need to be ... meaner? I feel like a 1950s weirdo asking this but truly don't know what''s up and tired of my friends saying "just be yourself" because that doesn't work. [/quote]
With men my first thought is to evaluate their relationships with their mothers and look at the mothers personality.

Some men will marry the opposite of their mothers but many are looking for someone similar.[/quote]
