I've seen this happen with so many people, that it's something I find hard to believe people don't talk about more. It sounds like at some point, you became passive - not because you didn't have "nuts" - but [b]because you started to abandon your adult responsibilities. [/b]
replace "adult" with "male" in the statement above and then it's accurate.
If "gender stereotypes" didn't apply here as KS puts it, then it would make no difference which partner displayed these leadership traits, think about it and we wouldn't even be having this discussion, as long as one of you did this it would be fine.
Cesco over time you did become more passive, I'll agree with KS on that point, she just doesn't understand the implications that had for your relationship with your wife.
Men and Women are different, they are not the same. Instead of turning a blind eye to that difference and labeling these ideas as crap and gender stereotypes, we need to acknowledge the differences, understand them and then make the changes necessary to improve our own lives going forward.
