Do you take it as a bad sign if your partner can’t handle hearing the word ’no’?

[Still-alive]

Like they throw a hissy fit or they argue with you about it whenever you gotta say no to them?

Yes its a sign of emotional immaturity

It depends on what they say no to you for

No its actually a bad sign when your partner says no to you. they should 99% say yes to you if they truly cared or loved you!

Depends on what the no is about. If they want to do something in bed and one says no, then it might be better to drop it instead of push.

If it's a negotiation for buying something one really wants, stopping somewhere one really wants on vacation, making investments one knows is right and the other hasn't figured out yet etc. then one person's veto isn't necessarily the end of a discussion.

My husband used to say no about everything. I couldn't even pick out my own food at the grocery store without him pulling it out of the cart and putting it back. So, it's not immature to put my foot down and say what I want matters too. I pushed back, and eventually was able to do what makes me happy. He also didn't understand investing. My kids got it first and helped me explain it to him. He finally got on board. The only thing we ever still negotiate are frivolous purchases.

My second husband refused to invest. His parents had taught him savings and bonds. That's not good advice. I wouldn't take his no for an answer, because he needs to be able to retire one day. That was never going to get him there with other financial decisions he was making. So, as the more investment minded person I did not take no for an answer. His parents pushed back, and I pushed harder. He finally invested the money. Now, instead of a measly $100 a year he's more than doubled the entire sum in 2 years. That's thousands a year more. He's upset he was so stubborn and didn't listen sooner.

A lot of times the "no" is the immature response, and the yes is the more mature push. So, it really depends.

My example would be if they wanted you to wear something or maybe make your hair a certain way by their request and you don't want to and say no to that and they get mad abut that... what would you think there?

[wolfcat87]

That's crossing a line. It's trying to control what another person is doing. Definitely immature and unhealthy.

doing to their own body*

[rosemilk]

it depends on what they're saying no to, but most of the time yes that is a bad sign in emotional immaturity.

[its01ashi2001]

Yes it's immature if partner can't take it maturely.. no body can always be in agreement with u... It's definitely okay to say NO to certain things u don't want to... But again it also depends on what you say No For.

[mandyfire98]

Oh it's definitely a bad sign. It's immature for sure.

[menina]

Yes, I see it as a sign of immaturity. "No" is part of life, we must accept it.

[DeeDeeDeVour]

I have yet to see my husband throw a hissy fit.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Yes, it's a bad sign of emotional immaturity.

[Sparkie460]

[wiltingrosepetal]
