Who wears the trousers in a r/ship? matters?

I don't think she is making the decision for both in that scenario. She does not believe in LDR's thats that. It is a personal choice. If she was to continue the relationship, won't it be an imposition on her. Would it not be him making the decision for both.

I think the continuation or end of a relationship, when one person changes their mind will always be one sided. When one person wants out, the relationship is meaningless if it continues.

Traditionally, men have tended to call all the shots. Whether its starting or ending one, the direction it takes, men tend to call the shots in a relationship. Women have started putting their point of view forward too, and be expressive. I would not call it taking control of the relationship, but more of taking control of their own life choices.

Psychologically in any relationship there will be a leader and follower. But when one person takes charge most of the time it becomes a lopsided affair. Ideally, each takes charge depending on what their strengths and comfort levels are. One person maybe good with the finances, the other person with handling kids, one person maybe good at handling emotional situations, another person maybe good at physical situations, you take turns being in charge based on the need of the hour.

Hmm, nice post.

I think that a balance is required of the two, there will be aspects of the relationship where the man will be in charge, and there will be aspects where the woman will take charge. There's nothing wrong with that, a balance is needed, and most of the time it naturally occurs, and allows the relationship to be healthy.

As far as the phrase "wearing the pants" goes, I don't think there's anything wrong with the men wearing the pants in the relationship. The phrase comes from the traditional view of men going to earn the money and the women staying at home and taking care of the kids. Although the times have changed, human nature hasn't, I think most women like having a man they can depend on, someone who will take charge and be able to provide for her and the family. Its not that the woman can't do that herself, but its just a natural tendency that most women, who are secure about their relationship, and their status in the relationship, want. Of course this doesn't apply to all women, but I think its a generalization we can make. Likewise, most men are happy knowing they can provide for their families and be able to support their significant other. Again, something that is inherent in the male gender.

Plus in most cases, men are happier wearing the pants, and women are happier letting the men think they are wearing the pants ... you know sufficing both the ego and the need to take control. 😆

As far as your example goes, of the woman breaking off the relationship, well I don't think it has anything to do with "wearing the pants" ... its a matter of a relationship breaking, and those usually are one-sided. It won't be fair to either if she continues the relationship just because she doesn't want to hurt him. She shouldn't have to put herself through that and the guy deserves much better than that. But that's a different issue, IMO.

see i wear the lungi so i am not sure why i need to wear the trousers....

Similar topic opened by Maya_M, even I am unable to pull it up. Have all my views there..Basically the conclusion was balance in life, nothing gender specific matters. Will try to find ti tomorrow. Thanks!

So what do you guys think of stay-at-home dads and women going to work?

Also, I was listening to the radio, a topic came up about how men always like to drive when in the car with their wife/girlfriend. Does a man look "whipped" or "pantless" while sitting in the passenger's while their girl drives??
