Dominant Behavior
Marriage AND relationship stress
We have and be content with whom we live is a code to maintaining good and lasting relationship. Human physiology is to get attracted to new and better that may be life, beauty, human, economic condition or etc; controlling self from surrendering to that attraction and learning to endure with existing situation saves from deteriorating relationship. Some factors as I feel are important to lead stressful married relationship :
1. Communication in relationship: In relationship, the manner how mentally, verbally, physically converse with partner is called communication. Even eye, face and body can reveal what is in mind. Good Living partners need not speak to reveal affection, feeling, desire and self opinion. Eyes, eyelashes, glowing or dull face and body parts explain the inner mind. Similarly reveals ifs and buts too. So need to hide nothing, open each and every chapter of your book so the partner can read, understand and evaluate to confirm that way the good lasting relationship establishes. Well understood partners are so attached, in sad or funny occasions partner is in mind. Absence of one partner in partnership gives a feel of missing. Most marriages fail where despite living together for long time intimacy is juvenile. Mind of both are against each other by finding each others weak points and do not want to change. The mentality is formed so strong that now is unchangeable. Communication of such people is mostly fake, selfish and hides the reality. Mostly cheaters are from this category. So communication is one major feature to widen relationship and lead stress less life.
2. Care and security: Most women respect their men who care and give feeling of security. This is first she demands from her man for her even sexual fulfillment is second to security as she even loves sex in security. She can sacrifice anything for such partner. She feels protected safe and powerful to fight any obstacle of life if her man is with her. Non caring partner is least respected, she would not even hesitate to cheat on him as without inner respect he nobody. In case woman is monetarily and physically weak to fight back she repents for rest of her life, is acute stressful life she undergoes for entire her. On the contrary male partners too suffer carelessness from women partners. Such men are normally unemployed, sexually - physically - mentally weak, addict and monetarily weak.
3. Fading attraction between partners. Age group of 25-40 demands search for better life so get attracted to better jobs, better sensual apatite, better living and etc;. Under this age group people tend to desire variety of physical and emotional add-ons. For this age group same old routine becomes too boring. A boring life needs change to revitalize. Many people find ways to refresh by associating with other for sensual and emotional craving, involve in unwanted activities, etc; having involved in these activities fails to pay attention to own surviving members or getting caught aggravates. On the other hand people with different ideology together find solutions to rejuvenate faded attraction by changing life pattern, satiating sexual apatite, reviving physical look, become more open verbally and physically.
4. Economic stress. Non earning house wives are vulnerable to stressful economic experiences. Managing home for low and middle income group is not less tensed; this situation escalates further when price of essential commodity soars, cutting essential needs is tough job. Reducing any of them would affect the home life. Under this situation either expenses are cut or defaulted or look for a job for economic survival. And incase failure to meet expenses even with earning of both the members cutting cost of daily life becomes essential. This situation is stressful for both responsible members of the family. In many cases when earning member avoids giving full money so meet addiction habits or demand money to fulfill these needs is fuel to worsening relationship. Feel emotionally tortured, especially women who run home aggravate blaming each other that deteriorates home environment. Poverty and inflation are two major factors for economic stress in the family. Most of poor and low income families are susceptible to this stressful life. 5. Mother-in-law AND daughter-in-law conflict. Two different identities (mother in law and daughter in law) of different ideologies fight each other to gain control over one man. These two beloved women crush this man in their skirmish. They do not realize the affect on the man they are fighting-for. In most cases, mother gets defeated in this episode and ends up rest of her life in the old age homes. If wife looses the war, she ends up in marriage failure. Finally, who is the looser? This episode of mother in law and daughter in law war all three members undergo in stressful environment. 6. Inability to perform physical and emotional satisfaction to partner. In married life between living partners physical and emotional care in bed and day life has an important role to carry on smooth relationship. Physical satisfaction. Men tend to focus on sexual intercourse and loves partner to exercise various kinds for genital stimulation. On the other women love to enjoy prior to sexual intercourse and sexual intercourse. Women enjoy more in attachment during sexual experience. In most cases men fail to satiate them due to lack of patience or misunderstanding women desire for sexual experience. For women sexual intercourse becomes burden until they felt the pleasure. For a women and men sexual activity is most ecstasy. For both release is for relief that vitalizes entire body and brain. Finally it is satisfaction that brings both together and caring as both care and understands each other's needs. Emotional satisfaction. Care and touchy for each other respecting and understanding the feelings. Human is never in same behavior some times sad, worried, scared, raged, anxious, and so on. Change of behavior is by coming across different environments in office, travel, meetings, home, and instances. Mostly surrounding environment dominates own character to behave according to the environmental needs. Many times during menses women behavior changes feels uneasy and become agitated. Overload of work or failing to achieve objective leads to exhaustion and disappointments. Depending on the intensity of occurrence, same attitude lasts for several hours and days in the mind and behaves accordingly with partner. And if partner without realizing the facts approaches same way the bitterness begins. Consoling the partner during that moment is emotional satisfaction. The security is felt and realizes emotional attachment.
7. External environment: Generally working in office or other areas we encounter many incidents from sad to happy, physical tiredness to liveliness; our minds react to the incidents through our personality. The reaction caused, affects our mind to change behavior. That change of behavior remains until shifts to different atmosphere that overshadows existing one. (However, not necessary that sad environment will force to change behavior for long time; this depends on comprising negative and positive factors in individuals). When finds similar situation, reinforces existing behavior, good for best and bad for worst. Exhilarating atmosphere at home upon arrival, consoles negative or violent behavior. The understanding wants partner to behave same way to soften homely atmosphere.
8. Marriage and external attraction/infidelity: Fading attraction drives to incline towards fresh and new attractions so can gratify self and fulfil what is lost. Those who are exposed to external environment are easily dragged into these attractions. Each woman or man working are exposed to external atmosphere. Many realise later and find the reasons as why did she/he go for it? was he/she not happy? If not, why? What can I or children do for it?
9. Different culture and religion: Denote leading different life pattern as drawn in holy scripts. Liberal marring to inflexible religious leads to stressful married life and has to lead whole life or till separation. Especially in arranged marriages or jumbled marring decisions stressful women life is common. It is rare in relations developed before marriage and knowing each other's attitude for long time. However, in religiously conservative societies privilege of marriage is enjoyed by men only. Woman's rights are curtailed to restrict to obeying husband. Fulfilling husband's desire and wish. Under such circumstances nothing can help until social change takes place.
10. Difference of opinion: Each individual possesses own ideology, forms own credence and opinion relates to the personality. In marriage relationship the first step is to respect other's personality to form chemistry. If chemistry is formed in the relationship, even difference of opinion would mingle to well-matched. Nearly 99% of families have difference of opinions yet most of them survive either by force of culture or religion, dominating behavior, or with attractive quality behavior. Attract collision in case both possess dominating behavior with one negative and the other positive.
11. Economic dominance or jealousy: Unfortunately most men are accursed with this deficiency, can not stand woman dominating economically. The reason may be fear of loosing control over home or her. In most living species males are born this way. Prevailing dominating instinct prompts them to behave to have control. Some one some where has to accommodate for smooth home. We are not in ancient world or animal world; this realization can only change the attitude. Without displaying economic lead making him understand the need of economic strength for comfortable life will benefit. However, these statements look good to speak or write but actual life is different, most men from culturally and religiously conservative societies, can not stand without domination as they are taught this way. Change would be feasible only by social change.
Each person has own character and quality, the individuality identifies when reflected through communication and practice. Major characters which effect married life are Negative/ Positive, Introverted/ extroverted and strong/ weak, these characters control us. In some negative dominates and in some positive dominates, and what dominates reveals through reaction.
Dogs' dominant/submissive behaviors?
This'll be a rather long question, and it's a two-parter, so grab some food 'cuz you'll be here a while. I have read a lot about the 'pack hierarchy' in dogs, and how the human must be the 'pack leader' to have the dogs behave how the human wants them to behave. However, I'm a pretty laid-back guy, and my dogs are very well-behaved except for the following issues, so I don't actively pursue or maintain the role of 'pack leader' in my house, mainly because I feel I don't have to (I know I should, I'm just a little too lazy). My two dogs, both Cairn terriers, display converse signs of both dominance and submission.
A) Cassie, my problem child, shows many signs of dominant behavior. She will strain at the leash while on walks, will sit on my lap while I'm watching TV (head tilted upward in dominant position), and will jump on guests when she greets them. That is all obviously signs of dominance, I know. However, she also appears to turn to me when she's afraid. Couple weekends ago my friend and I were hitting foam golf balls in my backyard, and he shanked one right into Cassie, who yelped (out of alarm, mind you, not pain) and hid between my legs, tail tucked and head down. She will do the same thing during thunderstorms. I'm slightly confused also, because she appears to be subordinate to my other dog which brings me to
B) Coco, my fat slob of a dog. I of course say that with a loving smile, because she is the epitome of a couch potato (she weighs about eight pounds more than the breed standard, roughly 20lbs, despite our walks, and rarely moves otherwise. Cairn Terriers have pricked ears, but because Coco lays on her sides a lot, she has actually bent the cartilage in her ears so that they lay flat like a Collie's). She, in contrast to my other dog, displays no signs of dominant behavior to me. She walks behind me on walks, is relaxed, respectful, and friendly towards strangers, and is never mouthy or demanding. She also doesn't solicit attention like Cassie, but will let me pick her up and hold her like a baby while I rub her belly, which she loves (our longest record is roughly 40min, during which she fell asleep while I watched TV). The other night Coco discovered a rabbit's nest in my backyard, and picked one of the babies out of the nest and brought it straight to me, dropping it in my lap with tail wagging and a placating lick. Needless to say I was surprised by having a rodent land on me at roughly 1 in the morning, but if I'm not mistaken, subordinate dogs occasionally offer gifts to the pack leader in an attempt for placation (that's just speculation on my part, I really don't know, I'm just basing that on what I've read on the Internet). Coco also lets me take her chew toys out of her mouth while she's playing with them, while Cassie will growl and snap.
While that's Coco's disposition to me, she can be a real b*tch to my other dog (pun intended). She will eat out of Cassie's food bowl, snarling if Cassie gets too close, nip Cassie if she gets out of line, and other things I don't really feel are necessary to name. To humans, Coco's a sweetheart, but to her roommate, she's anything but.
Basically the purpose of this question is to gain insight into the social structure of our 'pack'. Again, both dogs are well-behaved except for the issues mentioned above. They both exhibit (in my mind, at least) contradictory behaviors. While my question is out of curiosity more than anything else, I really would like to get this sorted out.
My main question is this: WHAT DO I MAKE OF MY DOGS' BEHAVIORS? I want this question answered, not someone preaching to me how I need to be the pack leader. Sorry if that last sentence sounded like I had an attitude, but I would prefer if the the post answers the above question, and didn't ramble on about what being a responsible dog owner is. Also, I know that in the wild, wolves have an alpha male AND alpha female; could this be what's going on? Any help is appreciated.
PS- Sorry this post is so long, I just wanted to provide as much insight as possible, in order to receive as much insight as possible. Thanks for the time, and congrats if you made it all the way through.

Ever shocked about how primitive people are sometimes?
I know there's others out there who notice this...do u ever see someone doing something (eating, working, trying to do something) and u are amazed of how primitive they look in that moment? Or even peoples reactions/behaivors to things, like a guy trying to portray extreme alphaa male/dominant behaviour but u just think its kind of joke and primitive? I am not a judgemental person naturally but I do wonder about some people and where they are on the evolutionary scale sometimes..

What would you do if your dog bit you?
i know a person who's dog had established aggressive dominant behavior with her and her other dog for a while. when she tried to train him out of it, he got greedy with the food reward for whatever bullshit behavior exercise somebody suggested and turned on her. she got bit and needed several stitches. everyone recommended euthanasia, but she couldn't do it. last week he bit her again, much worse this time, and she now needs some major surgery. still she's trying to keep him from being euthanized even though he's attacked her twice. rationally, i don't get it. the logical part of me says that once my dog gets openly aggressive towards anyone, I need to have it euthanized for safety reasons. but i don't know if i could bring myself to do something like that. how about you? what if it happened multiple times like this case? what if other pets or family members were/could be potential victims of their aggression?

Do you think leaning on the couch is dominant behavior?
I have had some dominant behavior problems with my puppy and have been able to discourage most of the behaviors, like leaning. He was always leaning on me, especially when he was in a state of fear or feeling uncomfortable. My trainer explained to me that even though he is using me as a source of protection, a dog would never encroach on a leaders space, even in a state of fear. Blah blah blah, long story short, he does not lean on me anymore. However, every once in a while when I am on the couch on the computer he will walk up to the couch and lean on it. Sometimes I will absent mindedly give him a scratch or rub his back. Am I encouraging dominant behavior? Is this even dominant behavior or is he just looking for affection/attention? Does it even matter? Not a crucial question, I was just wondering.
Julie, I agree that she is full of prune juice. If I followed everything she said I would never have any fun with my dog and would never be allowed to give him any affection.

Is this true about dogs?
I was reading an article about dogs and these are some of the stuff they said. I found it pretty interesting...i had no idea about this.
"Affection does not make dogs happy, satisfying their instincts do."
"When a dog is constantly leaning on you, putting his paw on you, using his nose to make you pet them, and always feeling the need to be touching you in some way, this is not your dog loving you, it is your dog displaying dominant behaviors. In the dog world, space is respect. A dog that is constantly nudging you and leaning on you, is not only disrespecting you, they are being the alpha dog."
