Gordie: Pulling it all together

[Woke_Up]

So many here say the W wants the strong man that she respects...well this is one W who is tired of the alpha male and wants to trade me in for a beta male. Any advice on this?

I think there is a stereotype of Alphas, when what we are talking about is leadership. You can be many types of leader. I read a good article on Husbandly leadership, maybe have a google for it. Leadership can come in a variety forms, and there is probably a right way and a wrong way of displaying leadership. My W thinks it is the bullying/bossy way and describes herself as an Alpha, whereas I tend to take a more collaborative and supportive approach, at least for work. I haven't necessarily worked out the right way to be a husbandly leader. More reading/research/practice required.
