While I think that show is hilarious, I do think that things like that contribute to the problem of weak men that we are seeing so much more these days.
I totally bought into this dynamic when first married. It took me a long time to see how years of this type of speech just wore my H down and made him feel inadequate and clueless. It put me in a position of dominance. Then I got angry because I was suddenly married to a limp noodle! How unfair is that.
It has been a long road, placing us back into a more natural dynamic but it's working. I don't insult him anymore, even in jest, and I don't treat him like a bumbling idjit.
But back to you, TS.
What are some ways you can work on cultivating this trait in yourself...a little more powerful, assertive, take charge type thing...any ideas? It sounds like this is the type of dynamic she really responds to.
