DEAR HARRIETTE: My boyfriend is currently not talking to me after we got into a huge argument over who should drive. He’s usually the driver, but I wanted to take the wheel for the day, which set him off. He feels like I do not let him play his role as a man in our relationship and that I’m often overstepping boundaries. I do not think it’s that serious. His driving does not equate to him being a good man, but since he grew up in a “traditional” house, he views things like that as valuable to maintaining our balance. I think it’s controlling.
