How would you react?
Following on from recent threads I am interested to know thoughts of either male of female posters .
What would you think if your partner said that if you went to an important event, a friend or family celebration , the relationship would be over or at best, there would be shouting and screaming and physical aggression?
The partner has no issue with the hosts personally, but one of the partners wants to spend all time together on their own as a couple because they only see each other every weekend( for the full weekend) and a couple of evenings per week due to distance.

The abuse would be a reason to leave and the relationship, it doesn't matter about the other stuff.

Without the abuse, I would probably end a relationship if a partner insited on going on a stag/hen that we clearly couldn't afford, would mean we couldn't go on a family holiday, and would leave me with a hugely stessful domestic situation.

I’d never be in a relationship with such little respect for me as an individual. My DH and I have been together almost 20 years, we both do a lot of things without the other (different hobbies, 1-1 time with our children/families) as well as a ton of stuff together. Neither of us would tell the other what they can/can’t do.

I wouldn't be in a relationship with someone who tried to control me like that.

It would be a sign there was no trust in the relationship and/or the partner was too controlling. So unless they were willing to seek help to change that, the relationship would be over.
