The other thread re whether the op's partner is trying to change her really got me thinking.
So here are some of the thingsnthat were frowned upon and ultimately massively contributed to my not being who i really am:
Wearing any make-up (though if I did I'd get comments dressed up as a joke as to who I was meeting 'looking so sexy' I have to stress here that make up for me has always been tinted moisturiser and mascara, no more!
Wearing roll-neck or anything high necked since he liked to be able to see my neck
Wearing anything at all in bed - even now I'm on my own I prefer to wear something rather than being nude!
Wearing cardigans
Wearing fleecey jackets indoors in winter which looked to him to be designated for the outdoors
Putting on different voices to tell any story
Getting out of bed before him at weekends and on holiday (classed as him having been abandoned)
Any film which featured too much talking
Making plans in advance (even a couple of days in advance)
Going out without him (cue major whine)
Etc etc - cannot believe that 7 months down the line the scales are still falling from my eyes!!
Anyone got anything to add to the list of their own?
