make one bow/ bend to (one's will/wishes)

Explanation:
My wife expresses a growing desire / need to have a kid and has now talked to me about not being able to wait for me forever (which I can understand). She said she would give me time to think about this, but only until Christmas. So there I have it I guess… The fate of my marriage will be decided before/at Christmas time.

Children are either a F*** YES 100% or never. You cannot compromise on children. If you bow to your wife and realize how horrible and exhausting being a parent is (and your 'alone' time will never happen with kids), resentment will ruin your marriage.

I never leave reviews on Amazon products but this absolute waste of a good tree was so repulsive that I felt it was my duty to do so. If you want a pamphlet that tells you to have no personality and do nothing but bow to your husband, this is the book for you. I have never read such chauvinistic, shallow, 18th century detritus in my life. I had to actually look up synonyms for garbage in order to properly convey my point. If you want to feel bad about your body not being perfect, about not being a pornstar, about RESTING, and about how its your "womanly duty" to pull hair out of the drain after every shower because that's not a man's job, please throw your money away on this ridiculous book.

As it stands, your dynamic is set up so that you bend to him, but by virtue of his rules that masquerade as a kind of anarchy, there is no real space for him to bend to you.

Yes, I definitely need to reread my other post and remind myself why I set the boundaries I did, and that I need to stand strong to them. I keep wondering where that strong person who wouldn't bend to him went. I gotta find her again.

He never makes me bend to him and always lets me be who I am.
