Taurus female Leo man can it work when the Taurus wants 2 be the boss?

I'm a leo lady and I dated a Taurus (who by the way is still in my life) We were both very loyal to each other but there were constant fights about who was bossing who around. I hated how he manipulated me and every situation. Even though we broke up 2 years ago we both can't seem to get out of each other's lives. We both like the better things in life, like the more important issues, I like being silly and sometimes he would give me a weird look as if he wanted to say "stop aching for attention." He never spent his money on anything he didn't really needed, while I would constantly want to buy nicer things, clothes that no one else had in order to stand out from the rest, but he never really cared about his appearance. The great thing about our relationship was that we were both faithful to each other throughout, and we both knew we would be, because he's a very honest person and me, well I'm extremely picky when it comes to shopping for men, he knows I wouldn't have risked losing him. But today we're just friends, sometimes with benefits but friends who try to not miss each other, at least I do.
