    I don't think anybody likes it when work is imposed upon them and they aren't willing to do it. I mean, I really do like it when the other person knows what he wants in life, but for him to impose that desire upon me when I have no interest in the direction he wants to go in sounds miserable. That just sounds like a somewhat unhealthy version of my dad, who liked to impose his own work upon my brother and me.

    Yeah I don't like taskmasters and I wouldn't be comfortable or stay in a relationship that involved someone imposing work upon me.

    I could work with my husband but I wouldn't let him be my "taskmaster". We'd be an equal team or we wouldn't be.

    Same. It even sounds miserable to impose a desire, strategy, etc. on me when I want to go in that direction.
