I'd go as far to say a lot of it is the man's fault because they willingly put up with it. If a woman ain't digging you or you sense funny behavior, time to pack up and keep it moving, but cats want to stick around and turn into a battered boyfriend. If you ain't getting your due respect, get out. I doubt that behavior JUST started once they got married. She been doing that stuff, but he ignored it. He was probably one of those male feminist dudes talking about they want an independent, career minded woman who gets their own and was comfortable being 50/50 or letting her take the lead. Everything we say in this thread is for a reason. If you come with that weak male feminist mentality and go around letting that woman disrespect you, you are setting yourself up for some real bad times.
