I don’t want to be cheated on. So if I feel uncomfortable with you hanging out with guys or your single female friends who do nothing but club/smoke/drink/sleep around, I think it’s acceptable that your partner wouldn’t be happy to see you hang out with people they aren’t comfortable with. If you feel it’s wrong, then just leave them. You aren’t ready for a true relationship.
I don’t know if “entitled” is the word of choice for me. If my partner was uncomfortable with someone, I’d hope we’d be able to talk openly about it with each other.
No, You are your own person. You partner shouldn't decide about that. Opinions are valid about your friends if your partner just wanted to protect you. Sometimes they know what's best for you. Depends on the situation.
they never tried that... and if they had tried it, I would have made it clear that just no... it's not up to them to dictate my life to this extreme point... lol
No, she can voice her opinion, and I may pay attention to it, but I hang out with whomever I wish. Same thing in reverse. I don't tell her who she can hang out with.
You already know miss chikky that i'm a dominant man and no one can decide who i can or can't walk with but if i was married, my wife can surely give her opinion about someone whom she doesn't like and the reasons on why she doesn't like them and if i see that she's right, i'll make her wish come true, in the end of the day my wife will always be my 1st priority and i won't make her sad for anyone but at the same time ofc she can't tell me to dump someone who is good and have never hurt us!
Isn't it suspect that millions of U. S. soldiers returned from World War 1, millions of them. And yet not a single one is still alive today to talk about what they saw. Are they being killed by the government just to shut them up?
When I was married I had a beautiful house next to the lake and the fucking cunt was always on the fucking phone with her loser retarded New York friends it cost her our marriage I always hated being second fiddle to our relationship even though I gave her a house a baby ball pounding sex every night I told her get that from your friends what they're not big enough well in that case then shut the fuk up!
Been there done that when he thinks he can decide who my friends are, it is just a way to cut them out of my life until I'm isolated and only have him.
As such, nope... never again!
Miss aerissa if you were married, you're husband have that right in my opinion BUT ONLY if there are good reasons for it...
@TonyMetal___86 And y is that? I've been married almost 9 years and my husband is that way. The only friends I have now r his friends. He used to get mad when I'd hang out w/my own Mom! Controller
@TransAm85 well the man shouldn't control his girl like a slave, if he wants her not to hang out with one of her friends, there must be good reasons for it and ofc the girl also have the right to give her opinion about her husband's friends and if she insists on someone with good reasons given than the husband must leave this specific friend, in the end what matters is the joy and happiness of the married couple...
Nope, I consider that "controlling". Which can (Make or) *break* a potential relationship.
(Note, Emphasis on the "entitled" word)
Yes. If you're gonna be amongst other men and alcohol is involved or he knows you can't control your attention seeking tendencies nor they can be respectable of him being your partner. There is a difference between being committed to someone and single
Agree. Some people consider everything controlling.
@nice-girl I get where you’re coming from but if you’re actively having to dictate to another grown adult who to hang out with, it can display a lack of trust on your end as the one trying to control who a person hangs with. If someone wants to ruin a relationship with their actions, they will do so, unfortunately. Biggest lesson I learned is there very little most can do to control someone. People have agency, but if they respect you, you wouldn’t need to worry. Xx
👌 100% @nice-girl
No, that is MY choice to make. That is not their place.
The second they think they can decide who I spend time with or how, or why, they'll be thrown out of my life.
No. Never. Ever. Try to control your partner.
If you can't trust them; either dump them or work on yourself (both?), wherever the issue lies.
There got to be trust. Otherwise you'll get paranoid.
If you’re a minor =That’s you’re parent’s job
If you’re an adult= why the heck is there someone dictating who you should hang out with?
Short answer =No, you have agency outside the relationship.
When two people have trust and communication things like this never are a problem.
Seems like a lot of people don’t trust their partners as of late
@Gorge95 It does sound like it sometimes.
You have to manipulate your partner into thinking that you are the one and you are not going anywhere. The main reason is insecurity and that's baselesss but it's there.
Alternative you start eating his head 😂😂 and he will happily drop you off with who ever you want to hang out with..
Nope not at all.
only exception would be if who they are hanging out with directly impacts the relationship or it’s someone doing illegal stuff.
That's just a straight controlling and as a man i refuse to be controlled. Definitely not gonna last that relationship
They should not dictate, but if your partner feels uncomfortable with your relations you have with a friend and there is a good reason you should definitely consider which is more important to you.
Absolutely not. But by the same token, if she decides to hang out with someone I don't like and expects me to be there at the same time, then she's in for a very rude awakening. Likewise in reverse.
