married into a family where virtually all the women have this illusion that by being 100% submissive, not speaking their minds, and constantly being the giver, they can get and keep a "good" man. In many cases (and their family history has proven it, and then some) all people can typically expect to attract in such a case is someone who is an "expert" in taking advantage of this type of person - and ultimately, you won't do yourself justice (or the relationship for that matter) by biting your tongue and giving in on every turn.
You just described all of my sister in laws! They do what they are told when they are told and never speak their minds. Then tell me how terrible their husbands are, and how unfair their marrages are. I don't think they realize they have done this to themselves.
BoberFett- I'm not mad over giving in. I know if I would have said I wanted the couch, we would have gotten the couch. I know even now if I said lets go get it, he would get it. He bought me a 33x16 swimming pool 2 years ago, and he doesn't even swim!
And I have seen his face before when his friends are telling him how they have this and that. I look forward to seeing his face when he is showing it off to his friends.
