Is it ok for a woman to order her husband/boyfriend around?

Question

TheRealPepperPotts · Accepted Answer

No, it's not. But I think  the reverse holds true, too . Most people do supposedly marry for love these days, so they should treasure and value what they've just invested their life into. Either spouse treating the other like a servant who is to do their bidding is seriously messed up. It's kind of like a ship; the captain relies on the first mate to manage the details just as much as the first mate relies on the captain to carry out the objective. One exception might be if it's one of those situations where she playfully orders him around, but everyone knows she worships the ground he walks on, that's different. Some relationships are like that. Everyone knows she's a spitfire (in a good way), but he's the calm, gentle giant who steps in when the stakes are high.

if he agrees and both like it? why not? :D somehow can't believe that in a healthy relationship people wouldn't set boundaries... and from unhealthy relationships we should stay away

no..

I grew up in an abusive household where my mother was physically, emotionally and mentally abusive. if she said "jump", I was to say "how high", no matter how fucked up the situation was. if I didn't, out came the 2x4 and the baseball bat..

I still suffer from injuries sustained from my childhood because of this woman..

Now as an adult, I see a lot of the behavior women display today, mirrors my mother's narcissistic abuse.

It is possible for women to completely break a man.

If someone is just demanding someone around all the time. They’re probably not the best person to be with. Especially if they’re not giving much in return.

It makes no sense why dudes pick one sided bitches. Who don’t give anything in return…. Maybe ONE thing when she’s in the mood (and not getting it from other people behind is back) but it’s what some men choose

RebelinSteel · Answer

It’s not okay for either to do it, however saying that I can be a lazy fucker and sometimes need encouragement to do some things.
also as a night owl, I have often done the 3am thing and be told in no uncertain terms to get my arse into bed.

Is it okay? No … do they… some do. Some couples work well that way.
I will ask my hubby to help me with stuff…don’t think that’s ordering him.
I have made him disconnect with a narcissist bitch… does that count? 😂

Imagine if your boss at work never gave you any orders. You would think he or she didn't care about their job. Likewise, if my Goddess isn't demanding obedience, then she's like any other vanilla cupcake -- boooorrrriiiinnnngggg.

ProbablyClueless · Answer

Eh. In theory, it's not, but it happens all the time. it's just one of those double standards we accept as a society.

Women put up with a bunch of bullshit from men, so in return, we let them boss us around.

SandandWaves · Answer

Doesn't anyone, know what a relationship even means? we need to be good to others... we are not to be pushed around.. just please set that person free...

Miah04 · Answer

It depends on the couple. Some couples are into that. If it is consenting it's okay, if she is a just being overbearing and he hates it. He should end things

hahahmm · Answer

It's unnatural. Goes against traditions going back thousands of years. But does it happen today to simps? Sure.

PBandJ_Nerd · Answer

I'd say no, it isn't ok and might be warning signs of something bigger and toxicity.

sirderpsalot123 · Answer

I would cease contact immediately. A little pushy sometimes is fine because I admit that I can be lazy, but I won't respond well to her barking out orders

nolabels · Answer

Nope. It's not okay. But it darned sure happens.

A_Wild_Redhead · Answer

Is he okay with it? Is any harm done towards the man? No? Then to me it's okay.

AimeeKyle · Answer

No. Neither the guy or the girl should be ordering each other around (unless they are role playing or something similar)…. but, to each their own.

OhLongJohnsoning · Answer

She can ask him to do things, but, NEVER expect him to do things. Vice versa
