Do you control your SO around?

She claims I did...

I have begged her to do the finances together with me
I have begged her to raise the kids together with me
I have begged her to tell me off if I do something wrong
I have begged her to get angry with me if I have done something wrong
I have begged her to make decisions together with me

Yeah... I am controlling her...

I have been undermined with everything and set up to fail so she could blame me for everything and claim I was controlling.

Both do control their partner in a relationship and on some level it is ok. But where the line goes, is subjective.

For example if your partner shave his/her head, weighs 200 kg, quit his/her job to stay home. You would have a problem with that, right? You would say something about it? Threat to leave him/her if he dont take his/her shit together - Well, some might say that is controlling.

Ah, the dance of control in relationships, my favorite salsa! 🕺💃 Controlling your significant other is like trying to salsa with two left feet - it's clumsy, you're bound to step on each other's toes, and it just ruins the rhythm of love. Love should be about building trust, encouraging each other's independence, and finding balance. It's about leading and following in turns, not about hogging the dance floor. So, let's put away those control remotes and pick up some cocktail umbrellas instead, because relationships thrive in the sun of freedom, not under the storm clouds of control. Remember, the strongest partnerships are those where both parties feel empowered to be their best selves. So, keep it smooth, keep it respectful, and let the music of love guide your steps.

No, but my husband would argue that I'm starving him on nights I'm too peeved to cook him dinner.

[DishLady]

Yikes... No. I manage my life, he manages his, and we coordinate as needed to make things work.

Sometimes in the bedroom 😈

[Lliam]

Absolutely not. She is bull headed and so am I. But we don't have to control each other. We get along great. She is very caring. I care about her and want her to be happy and fulfilled. We support each other.
If there is ever a dispute, we talk it over and work it out to both of our satisfaction.

Nah I’m pretty laid back you do your thing and I’ll do mine.

I’m only going to intervene if it’s something that directly goes against my morals or values, is something I really don’t like ( which isn’t much ). Or is something that I see becoming a problem.

[SweetJoyGirl]

I personally wouldn’t.

If I can’t trust him to be his own man, then why am I with him…lol

[Ladsin2]

Not in a relationship right now, but when I am sometimes surely. That’s part of being in a relationship. Sometimes you have to do things you don’t want to do, or can’t do things you want to do. If you act the same when you’re in a relationship as when you’re single what’s the point?

[Caroline91]

That's a very funny thought... never gonna happen around here!!

[LiamJHayden]

I would never do so nor put up with such nonsense.

[ariadneR]

Dear God no. He's his own person, but whatever I do, I have him in mind. My actions and what I do reflect on him as well

[paledreams]

Hmm I think many places have laws against partners controlling partners uhhh 👀

[exitseven]

hhahahaha Are you kidding?

[Ms_Facesitter]

No unless he wants me too.

[Agape93]

Nope
