I want to talk about one of the most common complaints I hear in my office almost daily that potentially wreaks havoc on relationships. It’s about control.
How many times have you said about your partner, or heard said about yourself? “He or she is so controlling!”
It often goes something like the following: It begins with the so-called controlling partner telling you what to do, when to do it, how to do it, and why to do it their way. Or, the controlling one does something over once you’ve already completed it, accompanying their re-do with an editorial about what was wrong with the way you did it. I think you get the picture.

So basically I should kiss his ass even more? I don’t think it’s possible.
Yeah, I agree with Poop above: DTMFA. (Look that up on Urban Dictionary if you’re not familiar with it.) Life’s too short to put up with this kind of thing.
Also, wtf is up with the sexist dogwhistle of the title, and the photo of the woman wearing pants? My takeaway is that you’re implying that men should be in control and women should cater to them. HAHAHAHAHAHA no thanks.
well, men arent the only controlling ones, my girlfriend seems to like to control me all the time
