He probably shuts her up with the magic cards...I'm just sayin'...my best friend's husband is a bit of a chauvinist and quite a man's man and she's got a strong personality but will succumb because she wants for nothing and he is generous. That's what I think...

I don't think anyone bosses him around. I mean, I think she gets her way in all the things he doesn't care about (like home decorating). But in those he does, I don't think anyone bulldozes him. After all, when he said that Stella was pushy and intense, he said she was just like him, not her mother .

On the other hand, you know he could feel kind of vulnerable. If she was the type to threaten to leave every time she didn't get her way, he could fear not being a full time parent and also having to shell out half of his property to the ex. So, she has a little leverage. It's difficult to be in a position (and this is true in FM too) where you have the most to lose. I'm glad that it wasn't that way for him in the band in its hey day. I'm glad he wasn't the one most afraid of the consequences of leaving and I hope that his marriage is a good one and he has no fears or threats there either.

Thinking about his appeal, I know I am probably reading an interest that these women never had, but it always made me laugh at AHI when Sheryl Crow was hugging him at the end. With her arm firmly locked around his waist, I got the impression she thought he was "strong enough" to be her man. Also, when they were on Leno and Sandra Bullock was a guest, she seemed to be awfully quick to run out and hug him when FM's performance was over. I think he could not only get avaricious women, but also women who are successful in their own right, if he put his mind to it.
