Solutions to Your Man Problems

6. He’s Too Submissive

You got exactly what you always wanted– a man who will do whatever you say. But now that your wish has been granted is this what you really want? You’re perturbed by his reliance on you and he never seems to have an opinion of his own. You’re starting to view him as more of a child than a mate.

How to Handle It:

You asked for it! His submissive nature is not something you’ll be able to change entirely. It’s his personality. You might be able to yield your power to ask that he take a little more initiative but don’t expect him to go from Pee Wee Herman to Idris Elba. After you’ve expressed your frustrations with him, you need to have a conference with yourself. Every man, despite his level of sensitivity, will have his issues. You need to determine whether you can deal with this or ask… no tell him it’s over. ‘Cause you know he’ll do it.
