This is something I find to be really annoying and you generally see it a lot in everyday life, whether it be out in public, on TV or in movies. It's the fact that women generally have the "upper hand" in relationships. A relationship is meant to be based on shared values and opinions between two people, yet, you so often see men who just let the girlfriend/wife boss them around and they never voice their own opinion. I can't stand it. For instance, if you're out shopping for new furniture, why does it all depend on what the girlfriend/wife does or doesn't like? What about the husband? Can't he get a say on the matter too?
As for myself, i've personally never been in a relationship before, but I would never let my girlfriend/wife boss me around and not let me have my say on things. I'm to individualistic for that to ever happen. I would want to have my opinion on matters too, even if it was over comical things such as what furniture to buy, or what our plans should be. I'm not suggesting that the girlfriend/wife shouldn't have their say on things, however I just wish it was more equally split between the two. One person's opinion shouldn't dominate over the other. Yet, it seems like so many people out there, in society, fail to understand this and just "suck up" to their partner, regardless of their own viewpoint or what their own feelings are. I know i'm generalising here, but I just see it happen so often and to be honest, it does seem like women in relationships have the "trump card", so to speak. Obviously it doesn't apply in all cases.
