In reply to the discussion: What would you do if your SO forbade you from going to a bachelorette party? [View all]TorchTheWitch
(11,065 posts)they can call the police and have me arrested. And one would think that they were smart enough to do that rather than just forbidding their partner to do any of those things as if they'd pay any attention to that just because their partner said so. They can choose to have nothing to do with me and end the relationship.
No one in a relationship has the right to tell their partner they FORBID them doing XYZ. They aren't a parent with an underage child nor do they own their partner and have some sort of right to tell them what to do or what not to do. It's a relationship - a PARTNERSHIP between two adults where one has no more rights or decision making privileges over the other. If there is something they don't like about their partner doing something their only choice is to ASK that they don't do the thing they don't like, and if they decide to do it anyway accept that they don't own their partner and leave the relationship or put up with their partner doing something they don't like.
We're talking about a fucking party here anyway, not criminality.
