Why does my husband always have to be in charge?

Men love to be the problem-solvers and love to be, in a sense, the alpha dog of the relationship for the most part, this is just generally speaking. If a man feels like he's taking charge it means he's the caretaker, he's being responsibile for the family and he feels like it's a good thing. He feels like, "Alright,I'm taking care of her, I'm going to care of this problem, I'm going to create this solution." And it's real concrete thinking of, "here's a problem, here's a solution. I'll take care of it." He probably actually thinks that he's doing good in being the caretaker. If that doesn't work for you, as a woman in this relationship, you need to figure out what aspects of it are not working for you. Are there certain things that you would like to be doing? And, if so, communicate that with him-let him know, "I love it when you take charge of these certain things, but I would love for you to value my opinion in this area. Do you think you could do that? Would that be comfortable for you?" So, it's really about openly communicating with him nd having him understand what aspects you enjoy, and what aspects you'd prefer to change to get your own needs met.
