I think we have a good balance with each other on this one. I may be a bit more non-submissive or dominant.
very equal, sometimes I'm a queerbait on things and she has to push me, other times I'm loud and aggressive. Just depends on the subject
We do a pretty good job of switching that role up. Whatever the mix it seems to work...there are probably equal amounts of wishing she was more or less dominant and wishing I could be as well!
I think we both have very strong personalities but at the same time also trust and value each other's opinions so much that maybe we're both also 'submissive' at times.
Dominant, I would like her to be more aggressive and dominant.
dominant. does not go well with my lazy attitude, but i want to improve that area anyway so it works out
dominant. I wish i wasnt. i feel like im the man. i dont want to be a man!
Hmm i like to think im dominant and at times when needed i can be, typically she rules the roost.
I'm definitely the submissive one. We agreed upon entering the relationship that it would be that way though, so obviously I'm okay with that.
it's give and take with both of us. We're a team. Ultimately, if it's a really big issue, he's the final say, and that's good. He's very wise and I trust him.
I think we're equal.
Submissive in this one which is strange for me, but it's what I've always wanted..as sad as it sounds I love for him to take initiative and be in control, but leave me a say-so and consider my opinions too.
I am the more dominant one. He knows when and how to take charge and I love it when he does.
i'm the submissive one... call me old fashioned but i feel that the man should be dominant in alot of things, i'm hoping to be a housewife and i'd love for him to come home from work and i have a massive roast waiting on te table :)
Submissive and I'm pretty okay with it
