i guess my husband has changed me in a lot of ways too, before i use to be an impulsive buyer i'd go in a shop see what i think i like and bam i'd buy it just like that, a few days down the line i then realize that it was not the right thing for me anyway. my husband has taught me how to not do that anymore, now i do a lot of reading up before making my mind up ( i bought 2 new cars in the past kept it for 6 months and changed). the money i wasted on that. but the changes i made for him made me a better person i think.
about pleasing our men? you can please your partner in a lot of ways, rather than being submissive. i do try to please hubby by making him his favourite food when he comes home from work, or perhaps sitting in a beer festival with him and driving him back. it is the little things i do that pleases him, but i never lost my personality, i am in general a very strong willed person very opinionated so we do tend to argue a little bit. but not once did he try to change me, he just told me he loves me for who i am faults and all.
i have never felt inferior to anybody when i was single, i divorced my 1st hubby and was single for over 2 yrs before i met this lovely husband of mine. i had a blast!
