    My answer would be tractable as that is the same as yielding. It means controllable. That being said, the person described in the snippet, seems to be quite the opposite of that description. The woman are discussing her behavior and how her husband is unable to control her. Maybe they are suggesting that he find someone who is the antithesis of his wife.
