As in "Why do you always want to rule my life"? Porque siempre quieres gobernar mi vida? Gracias.

Hey, Jeezle, if someone is trying to rule you, maybe "controlar" would work...sounds a little bit less like royalty... je je

Yup! I'd go for "gobernar" as the most useful although you could tone it down a fraction by using "dirigir".
