Word Of The Day - Domineering

Domineering - If you say that someone is domineering, you disapprove of them because you feel that they try to control other people without any consideration for their feelings or opinions.

Everyone probably knows a Mr. Nice Guy like Melcher, who is now 46. He's the guy who patiently listens to a girl complain without interrupting her. Because of his sweet nature, he puts the girl's demands first, altering his weekend plans to fit her schedule. He may be uneasy about making a decision for fear of being domineering.
