There is no gain-saying that anyone interested in making the most of their marital destiny and invariably, life, must avoid marrying a domineering person.

One of the worst things that could happen to a married person is to have a domineering spouse as a partner. A domineering spouse can subject a partner to hellish experience in marriage. Because of their desire to be in control and call the shots in a relationship almost all the time, they tend to be manipulative and completely intolerant.

In this blog post, I have identified eight character traits of such persons that could help you uncover them should you have started with them unknowingly.

1. They suffer from insecurity and low esteem a lot.

That is, they are not bold and vocal among their peers and friends; because they feel intimidated by such ones when they are around them for some reasons. As such they try to hype their self-esteem by bullying their prospect through the use of abusive words and sometimes, physical assaults. This insecurity also makes them to easily find fault with every other person including a prospect (wife or husband to be).

2. They hate to see their prospect exercise basic (normal) human rights and freedom.

For example, a domineering spouse-to-be can mandate you never to pick any call as long as he or she is with you. Now, that is not being jealous or protective, it is born out of a desire to exercise controlling powers indiscreetly. They usually have this tendency of telling you who to talk to and who not to relate with including members of your family. Sometimes, he or she could threaten to even back out of the relationship of a considerable number of years if you would not stay away from certain people they are not comfortable with owing to their misgivings against such ones.

3. A domineering man or woman has minimum or no respect for your biological and spiritual parents including his or her relations.

And it is evident in their unruly attitudes, actions and speeches. Such a person would hardly want to come into close contact with people you respect or value while you’re both dating. Owing to this, they develop a thick skin against candid advisers and that is inimical to having a blissful marriage.

4. Threat is one of the most common weapons of a bully.

Maybe because this person is a personal and family benefactor to his or her prospect, the former may issue threats to dump prospect and stop the favour being shown. Often, this happens whenever they fall out with each other. Watch it! This kind of person will squeeze out water from your throat.

5. They have a repelling attitude and nature. Somehow, if you observe objectively you will discover that virtually all your relations and well-meaning friends seem to be repellant towards this individual for an obvious and obscure reason. When you notice this, it is more of a red affair than anything else in the options. It’s always a natural sign that such an individual will be domineering if you get married.

6. They are hardly objective and considerate in their views and responses.

They are usually overwhelmed by their thoughts and mindset even when it is clear that they are faulty in their views. They would rather prefer to magnify their interest and hold on tightly to their views to the detriment of other people or the group’s goal than show understanding in such a situation.

7. They are often incorrigible.

A domineering person has tendencies to be opinionated. The marriage union is an institution that will never thrive in the hands of the assertive. Pride also contributes to this in such people. An assertive person has this mindset that- all men owe him or her the duty to listen to him or her whereas he or she can choose not to listen to about just anybody. And because of this, they are prone to making costly mistakes in life and marriage matters. These are people that end up as sufferers of divorce and separation in marriage.

8. They do irrational and mean things in angry moments that undoubtedly hurt.

And it’s like this gives them pleasure. This attitude sells them out as violent and callous prospects. It’s an expensive lifelong venture to marry a domineering person. To be forewarned is to be forearmed.
