Do you like it when a man takes charge in a relationship?

Yes

No

It's a dealbreaker if he doesn't

Depends. If he can be respectful about it and allow me to have a say, sure. But I won't tolerate being disrespected or "controlled." If you've got ideas on where to go, what to do, places to eat, etc., I'm all ears and I'm glad that I don't have to be the one to come up with that. But if you're talking about CONTROL, then no, I don't.

Think of it like any good manager—I like feeling like my opinion is being asked and listened to, and I like having a direction and a agree to a list of action items that I'm willing to go back and do for a common goal. But I do not like being told I don't matter, my opinion is worthless, and just ordered about as a subordinate. A project manager may coordinate the project, but he can't do it without the engineers and specialists to do the work... so in this, they are equals.

Yes but also, Im Catholic so thats kinda how we are supposed to be. That's what I expect. As long as it is respectful as well. Not demanding. Two different things. My husband still speaks to me about decisions and takes my opinions into consideration.

No I hate that

[TenderFantasy]

Depends on what you mean by "take charge". If you mean bossy towards me, then not really.

[bobalife]

Love*, yes. As long as it’s still respectful and thoughtful.

[anon1903]

It really depends. But in general, no it's not my preference. I don't like dominant men.

[KatherineJ]

I prefer him to lead, yes. But I also like him to consider my feelings and thoughts.

[jaskin777]

But if He starts cheating on me then it not ok

[Nikki1989]

Controlling men are a turn-off.
