Inspired by the other thread....

Who wears the trousers in your relationship? Do you have to run things past the Mrs or ask permission to go out etc?

I often get bemused looks when I tell people how mine works..... if I want to buy new stuff (no matter the cost) I just do it. If I want a night out - I organise it. I tell my wife each weekend when I'm playing golf. If I want to watch the football - I do it.

I'm not an inconsiderate so and so....the same rules that apply for me apply to her also. We've been together for 10 years, have a 2 year old and we both enjoy life.

I always bemuses me when I hear things like "I'll be in the dog house".

So come on fess up, are you whipped?
 
I'm the master of my own life

Until the wife tells me what to do


In all seriousness we are equals are communicate in regards major purchases or nights out etc
 
You will get my opinion once my wife gives it to me.
 
Had a mate who wouldn't come on our Captains Trip because he and his wife had "never had a night apart in 10 years of marriage". Now on one level that's very nice, admirable etc. But on another I need a bucket :)

As for me? Why would she want to stop me enjoying myself? Why would I want to make her unhappy being out all the time? All about the right balance.
 
Me and the misses have a fantastic relationship and we discuss everything.
I never lie to the misses as you need a good memory to lie and I forget everything.
If we have a tough decision I tend to make the decision I suppose its so she can blame
me if it goes wrong.
As with all relationships they are different but I do wear the trousers and I think shes
happy with that.
 
Look, I LIKE having lots of cushions everywhere and the pink wallpaper was MY idea!

I just wish that she could take up even more of my side of the bathroom cabinet with her stuff as it fills me with joy having to move 63 different types of shampoo and conditioner to get to my razor which somehow always ends up at the back.....

Nah, we're 50-50. Been together for 8 years now and still feels like we're on our honeymoon. Although when I say 50-50, prob more like 49-51 in her favor. Well, 40-60. 30-70. Ahh hell, I just go get my pinny on and put some fresh flowers in a vase.
 
I've been with my other half for 20yrs, we have an daughter who turned 18 last month, we're not married, I don't see any point in ruining a perfectly good relationship, if we want something, we have our own money so we buy it, if we want something for the house, new cooker, TV, etc then we discuss what is affordable and purchase out of the joint account.

She tells me when she is going out, I tell her when I'm going out, we occasionally go out together. She knows that through the golfing season I play golf on a Saturday so she organises her life around that.

I do not have to ask for permission to do the things I want, nor does she have to ask or permission from me to do the things she wants. We are courteous to each other and let each other know of each others plans well in advance. For example she knows already that I will be away for a long golfing weekend when the next H4H is announced.

what's that like?
 
Both & neither ..

Kids and bills come first if there's enough leftover and we want something we will get it , but if its expensive we would always run it by each other ,

Its not a matter of whos boss or who wears the trousers its about respect , we are lucky as we both work i guess so we both contribute , but we dont keep score on who bought what or who paid what etc ,

Its not a business its a relationship , if you love the person your with you will both want the best for each other and both will know whats acceptable to be spending dosh on and whats not ..
 
I'm just about to celebrate 10 years of happy marriage ........ I have been married for 39 though!

I wear the the trousers, she just tells me which ones!
 
Me.

I don't often put the foot down (preferring to let the junior executive get on with things) but when it comes down it stays down!

Women want a man to be a man, they want decisiveness, they want to feel protected (and a woosy, limp wristed wimp of a guy just doesn't cut it.....that's why women want a man who's taller, bigger, stronger....a real man if you will) they want to be dominated in a relationship.....they don't want a daft wee boy......and men wear the trousers.




















P.s. if she reads this my nuts will be in a sling!! ;)
 
We both do, don't think I have seen the 'Head Gardener' in a skirt for nearly 20 years. [shame as she has a great pair of legs]

44 years wed and it is a real partnership.
The only minor difference is that she has her own 'pocket money' bank account. Not that I would notice if she drew it out of the joint account!
 
My wife and I often have words..she just never lets me use mine

We have a great relationship, 23 years strong with fourteen of those married. Had ups and downs but we're a partnership and everything is equal. Mind you considering what she does for me I definitely got a diamond!
