I wouldn't say so. Relationships are structured in all kinds of ways. If both partners are comfortable with the roles they carve out for themselves, I'd say it's fine. It's like women who choose to be housewives. If they are happy with that role, more power to them.
For instance, I am naturally quite a submissive person in general who considers myself a follower rather than a leader. And I'd like my boyfriend to be assertive and dominant.

Literally what that guy does at sixth form not even a joke
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica
However, it doesn't matter which role you prefer- you'll eventually go into a near-homicidal rage if your partner can't just pick a damn restaurant they want to go to for dinner ;)
Nuremgard, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
Aww that's cute.
My friend hates that. When she asks guys what they want to do or where they want to go and they just shrug their shoulders and say, "whatever you want to do," it enrages her. She's like "have an opinion, damn it!"
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
I think I can tell I'm dominant because with mine I just flat out tell him "Let's go here".
And then when he just goes along with it, it bothers the living fûck out of me.
It's so hard to find someone that will stand up for themselves and propose some place else these days.

If you suggested a sushi place even once to me, I'd tell you, "naw, let's go to McDonald's."
I am an extremely fussy eater. My friends hate dining out with me.
Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
And I will grab the steering wheel and bring us into a median if you suggest McDonalds.
Unless it's for breakfast and I'm hungover. In which case, get me all the egg and sausage McMuffins you can carry and my love will know no bounds.
Nuremgard, Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica
Buy me a McDonald's or a tartan styled article of clothing and my love will know no bounds.

Wanna go out for a rip and get a double double at Timmy's, bud? Just got laid off by TC Pipelines, maybe we could go see the oilers then grab a twofour and kick it at my place, eh? Do I fit in yet?

Wait, is "a McDonald's" Scottish for "some McDonald's", or do I need to buy you a whole franchise?!

You pleb. McGriddles > McMuffins
Anyway, mine knows that he can make me do anything he wants if he buys me Chinese food. Specifically the Chinese restaurant in a bad part of town that I love called "Oriental Inn".

It's Scottish for some McDonald's but yeah, you can buy me a franchise if you want, babe.

Arrgh, Chinese food. Not surprising to anyone, but the prairies are not known for good Chinese food :(

Me and Sul maintain a pretty even balance, I think.
We're both pretty quick to attempt to go with what the other partner wants, but its pretty simple to decide.
That said, I might be in the same boat as you, Nur >.>

So much talk about sexual orientation. I didn't know what my sexual orientation was, so I asked Sir Topham Hatt. He said I'm asexual, just like all the other engines. Any other asexuals here?
Tuba Day? Thomas might enjoy that. I remember when Thomas had a little misadventure involving a tuba player: He accidentally left the tuba player behind at the station, and then Thomas had to look all over the island for him.

My birthstone.
Equally beloved by the Aztecs and the Egyptians, speckled turquoise is a relaxed, fuss-free stone, and its believed that anyone who wears it adopts these qualities, too. Many ancient cultures also say it protects from the evil eye (aka people who dont wish you well). So slip your turquoise ring on the next time youre feeling stressed out (or the next time Sally in accounting shoots you a glare.)
As a perpetually anxious person, I could definitely use this stone's supposed abilities. Not for Sally in accounting though, whoever she is.
Not bad. Quite happy with the Scottish local elections. You?

"Amethyst, the birthstone of February, is a variety of Quartz that carries a spectacular purple color that ranges from a blend of deep violet and red to a lighter lilac hue. Ancient Greeks believed that the stone protected the wearer from drunkenness and enabled them to keep a balanced mindset."
Oh Hell yeah this is true. I've yet to get drunk yet and I once downed about 10 Jell-O shots, a solo cup of orange vodka and Coke, and half of a Caribou Lou in one sitting.

"During the middle ages, topaz was worn by the clergy to promote clarity of thought and foster goodwill to the people. Today, its meaning has expanded into a symbol of friendship. These rust-hued gems are said to be especially useful in bringing helpful connections into their wearers life. So consider pulling your old topaz gems out of hiding when it comes time for job hunting, eh? Certainly cant hurt."

Continental Commonwealths Can I ask if the University of Alberta, Edmonton; Concordia or Ottawa Uni are any good?
Penguania And Antarctica
Tiring, my day job shafts me with a bunch of hours, Im driving across the State to DJ for one night where Ill make more money than I do in my dayjob paycheck, Im still in school so Ive got studies and then every other part of being a person. Its a bit heavy right now but Ill be fine :)
Good morning!
Yukona
Hello Vid! How are you today?
Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
I actually know little of the UofA. Concordia is a good university- it's known as the English-speaking university of Quebec and it's located in Montreal, which I believe to be Canada's greatest city.
I went to uOttawa. Also a very good school. You can get by in Ottawa only speaking English, but most people are bilingual. Be careful what you apply for at uOttawa, though; some degree programs require you to take at least one class in French (not a French class, but a normal class where all the materials are in French) and they're sometimes not entirely upfront about it with applicants.
Penguania And Antarctica, Yukona
YEah, you got this!
Ah, OK - well it's a year abroad, so it'd be through that system so I'm sure they'd let me know, UoT is an option too but I don't know how competitive it is to get on to on the international course, I don't even know if any of them do my course
Continental Commonwealths
Ah, I see. In terms of how prestigious the degrees are viewed within Canada, UofT almost is always the most highly viewed, usually making it quite competitive. uOttawa and Concordia are viewed highly as well, but not as high as UofT.
Yukona
I got told that Edmonton is a bit of a dive in the sense it's flat and there's nothing going on, I could do part time on the pipelines though :^)

Im doing pretty hot, cant wait to be a dad.
what about you?

Jaslandia, Penguania And Antarctica, Percyton
You'll probably get really buff, if you can find a job that is. Alberta is kind of hurting right now.
And Calgary is 1000% better than Edmonton. And UofC has a good reputation, particularly for business and policy degrees.
Nope. I am depressed. Not full of hate and anger.
I know it is, and it's closer to the Rockies, but my uni doesn't have links with it. Shame, really. It's only Concordia, Alberta (Edmonton), Ottawa and TARANAH
