we alternate in being the boss. there are times when i had to take the back seat and he leads and when he fails, its my turn to be the boss. i think in every relationship, we should take turns in being the boss. it sometimes ruin the relationship when the other is the one 'under' his/her partner. there should be a give and take to have an harmonious relationship.

When my husband was alive we mostly discussed things and deceided things together.But,I knew alot of the time he would agree with me just to let it be my way.Lol.Now he is with Jesus,so I guess he's the boss.

My husband and I both do our share of bossing eachother arround. One day it is me and the next it is him. I guess you could say we share it.

We don't have a boss....we talk things out until we agree on something, we are both willing to give so that we can both be happy. This has worked for years. We both respect each others ideas and thoughts (we are both educated and fairly intelligent, rational people).

there is no boss in our relationship because we are very fair.when we decide something,we just talk about it frankly,then who is right then do that.I think this kind of relationship is very good because we are equal.

Who should be? If you are the boss... then how do you call the other one? slave?:) I guess there should be no one. I think that in every decision we will make we have to consult each other. It would be better that way, because when someone acts to be the boss.. the other one will definitely feel bad about it... So I guess it would be better if you both sit for awhile and discuss the things that you need to tackle... and best if the decision you will make benefit both of you... and harm nobody. Relationship should be worked out together to make it work... you both get in there... then you both decide.

To me the boss in the relationship is the one that brings in the money. Who is supporting you and putting the roof over your head. So i would have to say my boyfriend is my bosses. I try to be the bestest house wife that he deserves. I am glad to be with him. So wishes you the best ifinallyfoundmybaby.

There is no boss in my marriage. We consult each other on everything out of respect to each other. When it comes to making decisions we talk about everything. We share responsibilities. I can't think of a single area that one of us is more dominant than the other.

I use to be, hopefully, :D . Well, guys should practice the headship in relationship ang girls should learn to be submissive. It hard for others but it is always right. ~mar

hehehe, I am. But I don't enjoy it that much, I often feel guilty about it. Anyway, I'm the boss because he lets me, he worries about me too much. But I don't boss him around.

For our relationship w/ my gf... im the boss when handling the money coz she spends her money from what she wants and not the needs. But also she's the boss whenever she wants, it's like alternate on giving the boss title.

hmmm, My husband and I? whose the boss? Well, were married for 8 years and we never ever tried to be the boss or think to pretend that i am or he is the boss. Though in our passed 6 years being husband and wife were definetly a good team, we share and help each other, especially asking about kids but since we came back, back to my husband own motherland, and have our own house near to his family (His brother, sister, parents), just a stone throw away from our house, everything changed.... Whose the BOSS? His family....

I boss my partner around most of the time:P But there are times when I let him do as he pleases, I just let him know when he is going overboard. We try to have a give and take relationship and so far I think we are successful at it.
