Ohhhh not at all. My man is THE man and I'm THE woman; for sure. I have known women though that often end up taking on more of the man role in their relationships with their hubbies or b/f's.
Not trying to sound sexist or place anyone into specific gender roles but...
In my relationship I am the football nut, I tend to be a little insensitive, I'm not super affectionate, I hate sappy nicknames, I say I love you but apparently not enough, Im not really family oriented, dont want to get married or have kids...you get the idea...
while my bf
is super affectionate, says "I love you" constantly, makes up (horrible) nicknames, is a little emotional (can cry pretty easily), wants to get married (talks about it often), sends me sappy texts all day long (many of which I choose to ignore)....
not trying to sound like a b***h just seems like we have a little reversal going on

Well okay, when you guys first met, did you know that he was this way and vice versa? How long have you been together and what does he think about you being the opposite of him? It's okay if you're not one of those "touchy-feely" kind of women, not all of us are. I don't like to be hung on and constantly touched and "petted" but I do enjoy the occasional affectionate stuff...
It's a personality thing - does he even notice you're this way??
We've been dating for over 3 years. The roles have always been this way from the first day we met. I love him because hes a sweetheart but come on...I cant be the man all the time

LOL right, right! Well I don't know babe. I would say if you are really feeling like he's overboard with the hugs and kisses then you need to say something to him. Orrrr.... maybe you can turn on the warm and fuzzies once in a while LOL
So, by you saying you "can't be the man all the time", do you want him to be less affectionate and give you a chance to be more affectionate? LOL Do a little role reversal, he'll be fine LOL

I don't see affection and emotions as just a female thing unless you were raised to believe that garbage--like I was but I dissed it anyway. My guy is touchy-feely and he can show emotion from time to time and I don't see him as any less a man. He is definitely THE MAN.
