51% vs 49%


He looks perfectly innocent right?!...okay well maybe not but I have touted him as being perfect. I may have been a little hasty in that assessment. He seems to have a slight flaw with a warped theory that he has. Everyone knows that there is always a struggle in a new relationship with the balance of power. There is never a true 50/50 deal....and let me tell you right now if your man is telling you that there is.....well I have some swamp land you might want to buy. Every man wants to be the "king of his castle" and we are to be submissive....right. I really don't have a problem with being submissive...I have perfected the art of mumbling inside my head and being quite sassy without ever saying a word. Just a smile and a "yes dear" thrown in for good measure. Richard, my perfect man, has the 51/49 theory. He has 51% and I have 49%. For most all decisions concerning the house....painting...moving the furniture around...where to hang a picture...my 49% rules...but when there is a executive decision to be made here he rides in on his "I have the ruling vote" horse and wants to pull rank. Yes he is still doing it nicely...and making me feel like he is listening to my opinion and that it really matters what I think.....but I detect a slight glazing coming over his eyes when I start talking. It could be my imagination but I think his "manly man-ness" might be running amuck. I have some good ideas as to whether or not I really need that new Camaro....or that new pair of shoes...my opinions should be heard ....and heeded....and I don't think it would hurt to let me run amuck with the 51% sometimes. I have good leadership skills....nevermind the fact I just paid $63 to have the dogs bathed....hey they were really dirty. Okay maybe I have to admit that I need a good strong man to rudder some of my craziness but still I have to envy that 51%......and would still like to take it out for a spin.
