'You might think a passive, go-along-to-get-along spouse would be swell. Not quite.'
None of us enjoy a fight with our husband. It’s neither fun nor sexy, and it can squander those sacred, precious hours of freedom after the kids go to bed. But imaginearguing with him—because he refuses to do so, preferring instead to roll over, give in, and generally let you have your way. If this sounds familiar, you may be married to a Yes-Man, also known as a People-Pleaser, Pushover, or Mr. Whatever-You-Want-Is-Fine.
Also, if your guy is a pushover at home, he likely is elsewhere, too. Which can mean that when it’s time to stand up to those doing the pushing — like, say, friends who take advantage or in-laws whose nonsense shouldn’t be yours to manage — your husband can’t be counted on. When kids are in the mix, that can be a real problem. Say you’re both atheists, but your husband’s overbearing Presbyterian parents insist that you baptize your newborn.
If you’re tired of living with a walking doormat, you’ve come to the right place. Read on for ways to encourage a more equal partnership.you sometimes a bit nitpicky or shrewish? It’s true that some yes-people are born , but it’s also true that a tense environment in which someone feels criticized isn’t conducive to open communication. Look inward and ask yourself: Do I make it safe for him to differ with me? If you can’t definitively say yes, then you both have some work to do.
