My mother and father are divorced and my mother married another man. She and my stepfather seem to be happy together but it's extremely obvious that he's in a submissive position in the relationship. He's a people pleaser type of person so it probably suits him, but the idea that they're equal is laughable. My mother is the one who constantly decides what they're going to do. I am not saying she doesn't care about his feelings and thoughts but she obviously has the final say on things.

Has anyone else noticed that in many supposedly equal relationships it is actually the woman who is the leader?
