Girls, Is it ok for the woman to be the dominant person in the relationship?

I have been with my girlfriend for about 18 months and lived with her for about a year. She is in a professional career with a job that pays very well for her age, she is physically very fit and strong and she knows what she wants in life. I guess im trying to say she is definitely an alpha woman. Around the house she is definitely the one in charge. Yes she is kind, funny, friendly and attentive to what I like and dont like. However in all aspects of our relationship including in the bedroom she is definitely the boss. I never considered myself a submissive personality. It just seems like her in charge was a natural relationship dynamic that occured between us and this is how it's ended up. Now I find myself happier with my girl being the dominant. She has challenged me to improve myself. I have a better job, im healthier and just have an overall better life because she has taken charge and given me direction in life. I am really just so in love with her. I know its not the social norm but do you think its ok if the woman is the dominant figure in the relationship? Have you ever witnessed a role reversal relationship like this and do you think it worked? My friends make jokes about me being pussy whipped all the time. However, I really just dont feel that way.

  • If you're happy then that's all that matters! I personally am usually the dominant personality in a relationship and it's hard to be with someone just as dominant. I like a relationship where I push him to be his best and h pushes me right back but it is difficult to find what I went. Really math only thing that matters is if you're happy in your relationship and so is your partner.

  • It is okay. I am an alpha woman and I love taking charge.
    Though I still want him not to be submissive, I prefer him to feel dominant just like me and we to complement each other in other fields rather than me being overly dominant and him being overly submissive.
    I want him to feel sweetness of being in charge just like I feel it.

  • Of course it is, as long as you're confident enough not to have to be in or play that role. It should actually be refreshing not to be the one to take charge. I don't necessarily think it makes you submissive. Plus it sounds like your friends are a bit jealous.

  • I think both people should give control a bit. Never control the other person or have too much control. Who care if your "pussy whipped". You have an independent woman not clingy to me

  • There is nothing wrong with it at all. If you're both happy, go with it. That doesn't make you weak at all.

  • I like things to be equal

  • I like a man to be a man. I like a man who takes control but isn't controlling. If I was always in charge I'd lose respect for him.

  • It is fine as long as the both of you are fine with it.
    People are always gonna talk, but if the both of you are happy with the way things are, who cares what others say/think!

  • if it works why question it but make sure its what you really want. I know men who eventually grow tired of the bossiness and cheat to feel like a " man".

  • If its fine with both of you then yas, but I personally would want a dominate man

  • Of course!

  • there's nothing wrong with it, just ignore those that tell you otherwise. It's your life and as long as you two are happy, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.
