Now that’s an interesting question. I guess most people like to think that they “wear the pants”, but in a relationship you’ve got to work out some compromises based on what each persons needs are and what is best for all parties concerned in terms of the situations couples find themselves in. In short I think that one has to work out what things:

1) Make them happy.
2) What things are really important to them.
3) Is personal happiness more important than shared happiness.
4) Is it important to make sacrifices and to put partner’s and kids needs and feelings ahead of one’s own.
5) If you’ve read this far and genuinely think about this stuff then the pants wearing is probably shared and that’s a good thing.

I’m with moon unit. I’m more than happy to let my husband make the call on most things and likewise him for me.
I don’t think it is fair to say people are “under the thumb” or whatnot if they choose to take their partner’s views into consideration & respect their wishes and opinions. If they do it all the time and don’t have any freedom then that is where there can be problems but it is up to each couple to find their own balance and make sure they respect each other and themselves in what they are doing. Being best friends helps a lot with this!

Truth is that it is a fine line and no one is going to make the right call 100% of the time.

Right-on Cords.

I’d just like to add that all I wrote before is dependent on each person in a relationship having a good level of respect for themselves and their partner. Without that things won’t last long.

...and yes Mizu is right. I wear the pants when I’m allowed.
