Do you prefer a partner who is dominant, submissive, 50/50 or a split relationship (see details)?

A dominant partner enjoys taking charge, leading the way and setting the agenda.

A submissive partner enjoys following their partners leadership and likes to have them take charge and set the agenda.

A 50/50 relationship is one where your partner shares being dominant and submissive with you in equal turns.

A split relationship is one where your partner shares being dominant and submissive with you but you have a preference for them to be either dominant or submissive most of the time.

I prefer my partner to be dominant (almost always).

It depends on what it is. When it comes to sex he can be my zaddy all day long but when it comes to money and planning our future yeah I am definitely more dominant in that category. That's not to say I wouldn't want his input or for him to put his foot down if he doesn't agree with something dealing with our finances but I am a planner naturally and serious girlfriend/wives usually are the ones to handle the finances.

Oh man! Not in my house they aren't! Of course my 40 year career in finance might have a bit to do with that. 😉

Haha probably so. All the women I know handles paying the bills and planning out the budget because they would know what costs what when it comes to the children and household items. It's just easier for the hubby to give the wife that responsibility but every household is different. 🤷‍♀️

Yes, every household is different. In fact, what you are describing is the traditional way it is done in America for the last about 75 years. That's the way my parents did it. But those were the days when the man went out to work and the woman stayed home and was a housewife. Since they both work today, it's a little different. It's important to work all of that out before you get married so there are no misunderstandings. Money is the number one reason for problems in a marriage. So you should be clear about it before you get married.
