svelte, thank you for sharing. It’s refreshing to hear there isn’t a power position in your relationship and you don’t regard your wife as a possesion. Neither men nor women should inter relationships based on what is in their own best interests. There doesn’t seem to be much consideration for the other party’s feelings in relationships these days. Far too often, it’s about “what’s in it for ME”.
But getting back to my major beef, it’s the attitude some men have with regards to feeling they need to be in control of the relationship. I don’t understand the attitude among a lot of men these days of, “I make the most money, therefore I get to control you/the household/the kids”.
Being with this kind of man is my worst nightmare.
Having said that, it appears many women try to control the relationship with sex.
Being this kind of woman is my worst nightmare. The woman resorts to this because she wants to take advantage or because she has married a man that has to have control. I find both scenarios highly distateful. I will not put myself in either situation.
