I believe in being submissive HOWEVER I see women who do WHATEVER a man asks!! I think it is stupid. EXAMPLE... When I was pregnant I was having a baby shower and I didnt have that many people would wanted to come. I felt really sad because I felt like nobody supported me. My husbands brothers girlfriend was invited and she promised she would come. WHEN her boyfriend told her he wanted her with him she completely ditched me and I was pissed. Her only excuse was it was crowded. There was only 5 people there. I was so sad and didnt understand why she would break a promise to me for a man???? Am I just bitching?

 Nope I am no way a sub! We switch in bed but I had enough of being treated like a child by my ex! And that man still does that! He speaks like this: "Barbara gene is that how we do that?" "Barbara gene do we dress that way no we do not" UGH I tell him we stopped being that chained up little person 15 years ago!

I stopped being friends with a women her hubby writes her chore list daily she gets in trouble for it if everything is not done his way! She wound up in the hospital twice last year gee wonder why?

 There is a difference between what you described and submission.  He told her he wished she would stay and she decided she wanted to stay with him and hang out.  It wasn't submission, sadly for you she just didn't really want to come to your shower.  Sorry.  I wish more people had come.

Submission is when you let the other person make the desicions for you.  I am a submissive wife.  I truly believe that DH love me and our kids with everything he has.  For this reason the decisions he makes he always makes with us in mind.  Therefore if there is a big decision to make I give him my take on the situation but then let him make the decision because I know he will pray about it and make the decision based on what is best for our family, not just himself.

Maybe it was something she didn't want to talk about to others? Oh maybe she already planned on doing something with her mand, but forgot. And felt guilty for making double plans?

I'm not saying you are upset for nothing...because I wasn't there to se the situation. Sorry she didn't show. My suppose best friend always turns me down for her cheating, good for nothing man. It bothers me too!

some could same the same about being submissive though, everyones relationship is different just like all people are different so as long as those people are happy thats all that matters right?

Ha! The way you described that I was thinking the entire time, hey that's me and DH! I had no clue I was a submissive wife. Its What works for us. Like you said with any big decision we sit and talk about it and I give my opinion and he takes them in to consideration when making the final decision. He NEVER EVER tells me I have to stay with him or I have to do this of that, I'm a grown woman and he knows that LOL! Its about respect and trust.

That is not submission that is abuse and being oppressed. I am submissive and my husband would not DARE lay a hand on me, and I am sure there are other submissive wives in this group that would say the same thing.

 WHATTTT!!???!!! IF a man ever talked like that to me I'd have to kick him in the family jewels. Being respectful to DH as the leader of the house and being a doormat are 2 TOTALLY DIFFERENT THINGS!!! It's important to take his thoughts, feelings, and opinions into consideration and respect him as a man, but there's a def limit.
