I'm really happy to say that I don't see my marriage in such adversarial terms. One of the tenets of marriage is that you share and cooperate. I don't spend my time trying to get the upper hand and maintain power, and nor does my wife. That's certainly not something I'm ashamed of. On the contrary. You don't need to be Donald Trump all day.

People and relationships change over time. Keep that in mind. Don't know your age (maybe you have been married for 40 years for all I know) but it's quite possible that your attitude might change later on.

You didn't make that distinction in your "pussy-whipped" comment. Perhaps rather than pussy-whipped, he just hasn't had his marriage degenerate into a state where he feels the need to cling onto every bit of power he can get. I've not been with my wife for 40 years, just ten, but I hope I never reach the stage where I feel the need to avoid discussing things with her in case it means I have to cede some power.
