For almost all the older married couples I know it seems like as the couples get older the women are becoming bossier and telling their husbands what to do more and the men are becomming more passive as they get older. Seems like it was more 50/50 when they were younger but now the lady wants to control her husband. Especially in retirement. Why is this?
This makes sense. With the divorce laws as they are today, a woman has nothing to lose and much to gain.
For men, marriage is a signal to them that what they want no longer counts. It takes a few years for most women to fully understand this but some "get it" from the day after the wedding. This is especially true for the narcissistic woman on her second or third marriage.
I find it rather amusing to read the comments from men who didn't anticipate this. Road kill.
I am not sure this is even true. I know many long time couples, and I would not consider the wives in all of them (or even a majority) to have grown increasingly bossy as their marriages mature.
It's our society. Western cuture is based on putting the p on a podium. One of my good friends is from Romainia and he and his wife are blown away at how entitled women are in this country.
Our entire legal system as well as our culture is based on taking a giant poo on men.

this.....................I see it WAY more in younger couples

Same here. I've been mulling over the couples I know and the only one I can think of like this, the wife is bossy with everyone, always has been. He knew what he was getting into long before they married. He must like woman on top. (I know that has nothing to do with it. I like being on top, but again, I'm not bossy. It just sounded good. )
