Women: Does your husband or boyfriend......

I have not faced such a situation. My husband is very friendly and co-operative with me. He has given me full freedom..I take decisions on my own even for financial matters. So when I need to buy something for my business, I share the concept to him. He gives me ideas and tips for buying it.this helps me to select a good product.Since we discuss and then buy it avoids unnecessary ego problems.He also shares every news about his office with me. i give him ideas too..Life moves smoother this way..Why don't you just give a try..

I think that's pretty common with men. Maybe it's something programed within their DNA that makes them think they have to be first no matter what. Like this morning...I was on the phone with a friend discussing a medical issue that really has her worried. We both got incoming calls that we needed to take so we hung up but she said she would call me right back. Well the call I took was for s/o and he stayed on the phone for 1/2 an hour and even said that someone else called several times but he didn't "feel like" checking to see who it was.

Yes, men can be like that. My husband started in good fun but continued. And even if I remind him that it is not funny anymore he continues. I have learned to ignore it. I have more degrees than he has and enough feedback to know he is just boosting his own ego.

Sometimes he does it without thinking. I know there was this one time in particular, we took our car over to his mom and stepdad's house to rotate our tires because at the time we didn't have a driveway. Well him and his stepdad were trying to jack the car up and kept putting it in the entirely wrong place, so of course they kept having problems. I kept trying to tell them they were doing it wrong and how to do it, and they kept saying I was wrong. So after about 30 minutes and no luck, I get the manual out and show them the directions and of course, its exactly how I was telling them to do it (I've had to change tires many times, and my dad pretty much raised me). Basically just because I'm a girl they automatically think that I have no idea what I'm talking about. There have been other instances, but that one stands out in particular. I don't let it bother me though, because I'm right in about 95% of our arguements.
