Husbands- what is it about having a submissive wife that's appealing? What do you find challenging about it?

Hi OP. DH here. I have been married twice. The ex was American and not submissive at all. It did not last. DW is from overseas. She grew up in Asia with a more traditional view of gender roles. She is highly accomplished and educated yet as a family we subscribe to more of the power dynamic that you describe. It has worked really well for both of us over the last 10 years. the one thing that does frustrate me sometimes she has a hard time articulating what she wants.

I just wanted to share this to make the point that not every relationship is 50/50.

so when a dominant husband and a submissive wife have a difference of opinion, she may express herself but ultimately has to cede to his will.

I cannot see how such a lack of respect and self-esteem can make for a happy marriage.

I get satisfaction from him being in charge and being the breadwinner/provider. In return as a SAHM I look after the family and take care of his needs both physical and others. Also I am not a decision maker so him telling me what to do is much better than me agonizing over decisions.

Omg, grow a spine already and grow up. You're a grown woman that's glad to be treated like a child and he's your daddy. That is a disgusting dynamic.

What will you do if something happens to your husband? You need to learn how to take care of yourself and make good decisions and earn a living.

Not submissive PP...but that is serious judgement. Clearly not something that works for you but let other be happy with what works for them.

Nope, I'm pretty content passing judgment on this one! Tat had to be said.

Guy here...I wish you were my wife. There would be a lot less conflict in my household.

A man who wants to be the sole decision maker in a relationsip has control and self esteem issues.

I know people who are BDSM submissives. Outside the bedroom, if their husband was like, "Make me a sandwich," there would be hell.

lol!!!

I would totally be into this if my husband wasn't such a moron.

lol... +1 as a Christian woman. My DH makes terrible financial choices. Thank God he submits to me about our finances. I submit to him about car parts because I know nothing about them. We make joint decisions about other stuff.

Hells no. We are an EQUAL partnership. No wonder the GOP thinks the way it does
