yes all the time. Sometimes i am happy to. Sometimes it makes me unhappy
-
Yes, I am submissive to my boyfriends and to my boss. However, I am not a doormat. I like to be told what to do and then I like to do it in my efficient, pleasant manner.
-
Please explain what you mean by "submissive".
-
I submit to my Lord first and when I re-marry I will gladly submit to my husband--as I did to my dear departed husband. I do not work, so there is no boss. Read your Bible.

In accordance with my role as my wife's surrogate publicist I'll say that she is not the least bit submissive to me. ;) As a very active teachers' union (UTLA) member she seldom takes crap from her bosses. I went out with a woman who tried to be submissive to me but that's just not for me. I find that a person who freely contributes their feelings and ideas to a relationship makes it a lot more vibrant, exciting, and interesting.

well i will say yes to being submissive to my boss at the end of the day they are higher then me and their word goes. my fiance...we give and take quite equally i would do anything (within reason) for him and vice versa. genrally my fiance harldy asks me to do things but i do what he wants/likes anyway. i think i ask a lot from my fiance and he is submissive to me... but if he did ask me to do something i can do i will do it no problem!

Submissive? No. I respect my boyfriend but he's not all knowing or anything. I would hardly consider myself submissive when it comes to him. My boss- that's a different story and I walk a fine line when it comes to that. I do what I'm told, but I wouldn't do EVERYTHING I'm told without question. I always question what people ask of me, unless I already understand the reasoning. I'm not just some blind lamb, herded by a Shepard.

Not by long shot! But there's no question that I love him.

I do submit to my boyfriend in some ways. He and I were talking about this today, acutally. He is the man in the relationship, so he makes the final decision on many important issues. He doesn't agree that this has to be the case all the time. I was brought up that the man is to handle certain issues and the woman, others. This does not mean that I stay home and cook and clean all day, on the contrary, he is the neat one and a very good cook, while I am finishing my doctorate. After we are married, when we have children, I will work full time and he will work part time and take care of the children while I work. I will probably end up making more money than he does, but that doesn't mean he won't still be the one "wearing the pants." I don't work right now, so I don't have a boss.

I am not a woman but I thought you might be interested in the way my wife and I deal with this. I allow her to make all the minor decisions, such as which house we buy and what car we drive, but I have sole responsibility for major decisions, such as should we declare war on China.

I think every ship needs one captain. I have chosen my husband to captain the ship. SO I do let him be the head of our household and I respect his authority. I know that I chose an excellent head, one who always respects me in every way and listens to my thoughts and views and usually takes my ideas as best for us. We discuss things together and reach all decisions together. But ultimately, he is the one who makes the final say. It in no way makes me less than him as I am better in many areas than he is, just as he has his great strengths.

I'm naturally a very passive and submissive person. I try to bring harmony to the people and places around me. So, usually yes, i submit to the people who play a big role in my life.

Unfortunately for my relations with my ex husband, my present husband, and all other lovers that I have ever had, I need to get my own way, but I am not a dominating personality. Therefore, that means rage, crying, and other methods that spoiled children and some women use to get their way. On the other hand, I love my ex, my present husband, and most of my previous, lovers. I make a point to remain friends with them. They all (mostly) love me, but are glad not to be living with me.

I am cooperative. but not submissive. Sometimes cooperation is mistaken for being submissive.
-
Yes, in the end, my husband is the one who has final say about things. Usually he just lets me make the decisions, and goes with what I say, because he trusts me and we get along well and easily. As to my boss... well, when I had one (which I don't at the moment) I would not have said I was submissive to him. I didn't trust and respect him and would not have done something I disagreed with just because he said so.

At work I was a supervisor, then a principal. I was fairly tough and certainly not submissive to my superiors or the Board of Trustees. With men, I preferred my equals and so it was sort of relationship by consensus. There was one exception, the man I most fell in love with, my one true love, and whom I loved all my life. He was far too young for me, we never married, and I never forget him. I would have fallen on my knees for him at command.
-
no, I am not submissive to my husband. my boss...hmmmm....to her face i appear submissive but behind her back I do things to try to destroy her.
-
No, not in the least. I'm a very dominant personality. I wouldn't be in a relationship that wasn't based on equity and mutual respect. At work I am both a boss and have a boss. I do not expect my staff to be submissive to me, and I am not submissive to my boss. Our company just doesn't work that way.
-
Yes, I am submissive to my husband, but we do talk things out, and he does ask for input, and when practical, we do mutually make decisions. There can only be one man, and one woman in a traditional marriage, and I'm quite content with my role.
-
That's funny about my husband! Hahaha No, I do not! lol Since I'm my own boss, of course I submit to me.
-
yup i am very submissive to my boyfriend as well as to my boss..and it works okay.
-
I am fairly submissive to my boyfriend unless it is necessary that I shouldn't be, which hasn't really happened so far. It is better for us if he takes the reins and makes decisions overall. I know that he will always listen to my input and consider what I have to say. Things are just better like this because I don't have to deal with as much. My boss and I are more like a team and I know what I'm doing so we work in harmony and being submissive isn't usually necessary.
