Would you do this ?

[holymil]

I've recently taken to a new sport ( tennis ) which I'm very much enjoying. I've got a small baby, so really trying to get fit.

I have met a few people who are willing to play.

Some of those people are male, some are female. Occasionally I could be partaking with just another male. Playing singles, for example. Or it could be that I'm playing doubles with another male / males.

I don't see an issue with this at all. But I think my DP would find it problematic if I played singles against a male.

Would you/ your DP think this is inappropriate ?

I won't do it, because I know my DP will disapprove. But I don't see the harm at all.

Most people aren’t married to insecure twats, so I’d say many would do this.

I’d be delighted if my partner did this. She’d be having fun, getting healthier and probably getting more attractive too. What’s not to like about that.

I'm not fully au fait with tennis but shouldn't you be batting one of those yellow balls rather than an eyelid?

If your husband disapproves of you playing singles tennis against a male you have a major husband problem. LTB.

It's not inappropriate to play singles against a male, it's a game of tennis...not tonsil tennis! I'm just amazed you have time for tennis with a small baby, I have a 4 month old and I barely have time to brush my teeth! (I'm envious!)

Is 'playing tennis' a euphemism for a BJ where you live?

What do you like - or get out of - being partnered with someone so insecure, pathetic and lacking in confidence?

Doesn’t he give you the ick?

Wouldn’t you much rather be with a man who’s confident and comfortable in himself, and who trusts you.

Don’t fancy yours much, OP. 😬

I'd be so insulted if my DP thought playing tennis with a man was problematic. It's as bad as suggesting I'm unable to control my basic urges and cannot be trusted without his 'supervision'. It wouldn't say much for his views on his fellow males either.

Seriously - slippery slope. Think of women across the world who cannot go out without male supervision and how we view that oppression.

😂😂

YABU to restrict your life and not even consider doing something completely normal, because you know your dp wouldn't approve

The word "partner" implies an equal relationship.

Can you explain why he thinks he gets to decide what you can or can't do ?
Or, even more strange to my ears, can you explain why you would put up with someone else deciding what you can or can't do ?
