You mean you don't want a man who can make decisions?
So you want a man who is indecisive wishy-washy? :)

Sometimes even I don't want to make a decision. I want someone else to.... just let me know what the decision is. :)

And I challenge you to find where I said/implied a man and a woman can't be a partner.
When my wife and I have differing opinion, it's usually me that bow out, because nothing is that important to me to argue over.
But if a decision HAS to be made, and she is unwilling to or can't, I will, and let her know why and how.
