Is this right?
I know relationships can be complicated. They can be complicated to the point where the individuals involved within them have their own unique set of rules they each have become to respect. With that said, I know the answer to certain questions may or may not be as simple as yes or no. There might actually be qualifiers/stipulations that come along with them. Really, it boils down to the individuals within the relationship on what they are willing to accept and not accept.But....here is the question.
I have personally seen this and have heard it from many friends. I am not saying it is a common event, but I think it might be more common than one might think.
Is it right for a woman in a relationship to threaten her man with various forms of retribution if he decides to go out with his friends....or...even go visit his family. Now the family thing, I think might be a little more rare but the friends issue, I have heard on more than one occasion.
What I do hear a lot now days is....how men will proclaim, "I like my freedom."
Is this a man issue only or do women run into the same issues?
Do women feel the same about having their freedom?
Do you really lose your freedom when you meet the right person...meaning allowing you your boundaries and allowing your individuality?
Is it really fair for your spouse or significant other to throw threats out there...or is it time to move on?
Have we now become a new society when it comes to relationships?
Happy Saturday all.

So what do you mean by: new society when it comes to relationships?
you mean men choosing to be single permanently or something?
Eh, well if he can't find a sweet seniorita then maybe just as well.
Most guys don't think that way however as it's like giving up. It's silly too, men should man up.
Ultimatums are generally unhealthy, but I would have different feelings about a threat to leave if someone was going out with their friends to commit an armed robbery and a threat to take the children away if someone was meeting their friends for tea and scones.
Your question is too generic to express more than that.
unless of course its said throughout love making
I want my freedom with my man so we can 'do freedom together'
I don't quite understand your question. Does this have anything to do with when that pretty lady took over your pool table game, and your friend got in the way, before you could get something going on with her?
Women strongly dislike the idea their partner will be hanging around mates with no partner or responsibilities, and develop a taste for freedom.
Men strongly dislike the idea their partner will be hanging around a bitter man hater, who will try to spread hatred and mistrust.
Neither is particularly healthy.
No women are not more insecure than Men, but men are less forgiving.
men use the term as if they need permission to take a week to hunt or otherwise perform a stag event when the female can't wait for the man to leave/do guy things.
unfortunately, i never got a "man cave pass".
double standards
You still owe me a beer for my advice.
If I have more than one I might change my mind.
I like your acceptance of offering space. I would think that would be a beautiful thing.....out all night with the guys...or with the girls if you are a woman....and your better half is home with smiles and hugs and kisses so eager to hear about your time out.
But Robert might owe you one too though.
