My husband goes on trips with friends but doesn't allow me to do the same with my friends.Says that is what is happening practically everywhere. Men can do anything they want but women are not supposed to the same Is that how it's supposed to be?
Ans: Dear Sree,
Men can do anything, but women can't; does it sound right to you? To me, it sounds like a male chauvinist idea put in place for a man's benefit.
Men and women are equal and have equal rights; read that again. If your husband can have fun with his friends, so can you. What makes him so exceptional that he gets to live freely, and you, on the other hand, should be caged? Ask yourself that, and you will have your answer to "Is that how it's supposed to be?"
You and you alone get to decide how you want to live your life, certainly not your husband. I can't tell you to challenge your husband's ideas; that's your call. But I can tell you this, if you submit, you will never know what it is to live. Fulfilling your partner's twisted whims and fancies will only make him feel more entitled. Stop it when you still have the time. Be strong.
Best Wishes!
