[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My favorite are the ones who complain about how their husbands won’t stand up to their controlling and manipulative MILs with no self-awareness about why their husbands were attracted to them to begin with.[/quote] Yes and no. In the vast majority of marriages that I know (extended family and close friends)- one partner or the other is more dominant. I don’t find this is gender biased either- more of a personality thing. I think problems arise when parents see that their “adult child” is the passive one in the marriage- and it makes them very nervous so they try to step in and “take back” some of that perceived control from the “outsider”. I’m not talking abuse or manipulation either- I have just noticed that in many many marriages this is the pattern and both partners seem happy with the arrangement. I think people somehow pair off this way without consciously thinking of why or realizing it.[/quote]
