Should your significant other be able to tell you what you are or not going to do? How do you deal with it? I would just tell my husband that he isn't going to tell me what I'm going to do and thats that. I can't stand how people think that they can just make decisions that affect their whole family, no matter how great or small, and that its ok. What would you do in a situation like that?

i think they can give suggestions. but of course all others must come from me, decision making wise, of course cause they can help me decide, point of things i don't clearly see.. but i should not be told what i should do as if its the only option i have.

In one really big, loud word, NO! No person should tell you what you are going to do. I because very upset a few months ago at a local mall. There was a man, his wife and 2 children. The man ordered the wife and children to sit in a certain spot (and the comfy chairs that were nearby were not the place) and stay there until he came back. They were not to move or even stand up. They were to sit on the edge of a fountain (concrete) and wait. I was so mad, I wanted to tell him off. The only thing that stopped me was fear that he would take it out on his wife and children.

NO I definetely think he has no right to tell me what to do or what not, that i can lead my own life, at least the my life part, not our lives.Im in for a discussion and if both have a equal share, i wudnt mind, but being bossed over is not acceptable...

We usually do what we think is right. I never tell her to what to do for she knows better. Nor does she tell me though.

not actually 'tell' but rather suggest. in my case my fiancee and i discuss things, before we rely solely on what the other would decide upon, but now we talk about it, the situation, pros and cons of our soulutions then we both come up with the decision. probably you can tell him that you want to resolve certain issues as a family, as a whole unit, or that you don't like to be pushed over and accept his decisions as the right solution without hearing what you have to say.
