KNenagh: I'm an adult, I can make my own decisions and could only deal with another adult who can do the same.

My approach always was that a couple should be a team.
Go team!thumbs up

Yes, in an Asian household normally.

I for one, do not mind it a little bit but when it comes to certain things like *ahem* behind closed bedroom doors, I think I'd like to be THE one making most of the decisions... wink giggle giggle giggle batting batting batting

It should be a partnership with either partner taking the lead when an occasion calls for his/her particular skills. There are of course certain areas where he must take the lead and I will follow willingly wink grin
