Boyfriend doesn't let me walk home alone?

[Anonymous]

I'm 21, and I stay in town roughly a 20 minute walk from the club I end up at most weekends. It's safe here and I've been doing that walk since I was 17, a lot of the time myself (during the week) and with mates at weekends.

My boyfriend of 4 months (age 30) doesn't agree with me on this and doesn't think I should be walking home, especially alone.

Opinions?

All those nights you walked home you might have feeled really safe, but all it takes is one bad situation one bad individual to ruin all that I think he is right to show concern here and it's just better to be safe then sorry 🤔
Some girls who get into a bad situation don't think it would happen to them

Yeah I get that but like I said its very safe here, there has been no reports of anything overly bad happening around the area and apart from one small tree/bush bit the rest of the route in filled with houses and street lamps.
i get that bad stuff does happen to some girls, but I'm also quite strong for a girl too, and I can hold my own. And he knows this.
Thanks for you opinion

I think it's good he shows concern for you even he don't agree with him - you feel safe doing all this then it's choice you feel safe and can hold your own but how many times have I watched the news and crime documentaries where they this is a safe place here we a re shocked that something like this can happen - i think it would be difficult for any girl especially if someone grabs you from behind 🤔
Just stay safe make sure that you in a good position to run and always hold your house keys in your hand but I hope for you nothing does happen you seem happy do this and like you said it's safe but just be weary

does not think i should'

does not let me

these are veery different things.

what doeshe expect yoy to do fior the rest of your life. not go anywhere w

without an escort?

its not very practical. he must realize he's not making sense. you live your life before him during him and after him, he's only thinking of it now bc he's your boyfriend. but your life is much bigger than that.

you are an adult. if you think its safe hell gave to respect that.

[Asker]

I worded that badly. He couldn't stop me doing it and he wouldn't he isn't controlling is any way at all, he would just rather I didn't do it and would rather take me home himself or suggest I get a taxi. I agree with you though that he must realise how much sense he doesn't make as it's not practical at all to do what he is suggesting. But at the same time I want to respect his views and wishes, putting me in this predicament. Thanks for your opinions

[Asker]

Yeah he is, but I don't feel there is any need to be. Thanks for your input
