OMG, who's the boss? Hopefully you are your own boss, and the relationship is a partnership, where both share the "boss" responsibility.....another product of parents, passing the child off to baby sitters? Why don't people have the basics down?

lol! This. Adults don't need a boss at home. Two fully autonomous adults can get along as equals.
People hate the word boss. It's some type of inferior complex where they have to call it equal so they either feel good about themselves for not stepping up, or want to demonstrate their ability to compromise.
In one way or another, there is a dominant person in the relationship (man or woman). If a tough decision had to be made, and only 1 person could make it, it would be 1 person stepping up. Sure, we share responsibilities and are equal. But it is never entirely equal. Some relationships the woman takes control and sets the tone but in others, the men take control.
In my relationship, we both share the lead and keep each other up. But due to my dominant nature, I would never get involved with someone that is more dominant than me.
My husband would say I am, but I disagree. I'm bossy, not the same thing. It's my nature to take control, and I try very hard to temper the edges of that. I would do nothing without my husband's buy-in and/or knowledge. We have agreed that we both have "veto" power over things that have an impact (ie: large purchases, etc.). My husband's happiness is very important to me, and I know he feels the same way. Otherwise it completely a partnership, we are a team and each other's best friend.
