Are there any activities that you do that your partner disapproves of? Are there any that your partner does that you disapprove of?
What are the repercussions of this? And what activities are disapproved of?
Obviously there are some really bad ones, like disapproving of sleeping with the cute windowcleaner, but there are also some at the other end of the scale, like disapproving of you wearing a particular pair of jeans.
When is disapproval warranted, and at what point does it become controlling behaviour? Does going along with it make you a doormat, or does it make you a reasonable and understading partner?
I know this sounds like a research thing, but I am a name changer and just wondered what people's experiences of this are. My dp and I are having a psychological tussle over something that I do that he dispproves of and I won't let him stop me doing, on principle. He says he won't stop me, but he thinks less of me for it. Tbh we nearly broke up over it this weekend!
So I would be interested to hear other people's experiences of this.
