I don't have it twisted, but you do. Big time. The man is the final decision maker. Period. No 50/50. There is only one leader in every situation. Period. Someone has to be in charge. There is no such thing as a 50/50 relationship where both are in charge. That's an impossibility. Somebody is leading somebody. She is to be involved in every discussion, issue and decision but if they can't come to an agreement, his decision stands, and he is also the speaker of the household. Thanks, but I don't need definitions from a man made dictionary. The fact that you typed all that still has no affect on my thoughts. You have your opinion and if that's the kind of relationship you want, then handle your business. But I'll handle mine.
