I get the large ego with the inferiority complex.

I don't have to fix prince charming...I have to get his approval, as he is the authority, the strong man, the knight in shining armor.
Most of that is good, actually, as I too play well my part of being his princess.
It breaks down when I still need to get his approval while I am fighting him on his authoritarian nature simultaneously, as I reject authority being a grown woman now.
That combination is a recipe for problems, and I end up feeling like a "bad girl".
I want to break the stubborn authoritarian side, but I don't want to make the knight cry, because that frightens me...dad never cried.
