I don't boss my husband around, but he gets my input on just about everything, and vice versa. When it comes to decisions that affect both of us, affect our children or affect our family as a whole, we have an agreement that the "no" vote rules. That way nothing ever gets the go ahead unless both of us are in agreement. If he doesn't agree with me, it's my job to persuade him. If I'm uncomfortable with something, it's his job to persuade me. I think it works pretty well. Trust me - it doesn't all go MY way. LOL!!!!!
Women who nag and whine and are bossy tend to have resentful husbands who don't want to do anything for them. However, if you're kind and you pick your battles, you're more likely to win a few. I am 100% confident that if my husband decided for some crazy reason to pierce an ear or two, that my "no" vote would completely halt the process.  Ergo, I can say: My husband will not be getting his ear[s] pierced.

Don't try and put this on me. Reminds me of a book I saw once, Bobbed hair, Bossy Wives and Women Preachers.
If my wife told me what I WASN'T going to do then she might expect a
similar response from me. My wife doesn't tell me what to do, so we don't have the issue.
