Decisions..decisions

Have you ever done something where you didn't bother to ask your husband on your decisions? You've gone solo and never thought of your husband's feelings if he would knew it. If you think your husband will oppose you on something that you would like to acquire or a business you would like to join such as networking, will you pursue although it was against his will?

Hi dear, If it is related to a money involvement, a subject related to a long term project or plan, a second opinion is required, can be issues on the later stage, multiple people involved, having nature of confidentiality, etc are some issues that we need to consider to have a discussion with our better half. Even though silly and unimportant matters can be ignored, if we do something like this and it is supposed to be an ongoing process, at least have it discussed with the other person. He may or may not respond or may show a negative interest. However, you can tell that I am making a start up and let us see how it goes. So such a neutral attitude from your side is save many things. You informed, you started, you are in the process of continuation also. If it stop in between, however, you don’t have any investment in such thighs. So, not an issue. Approach in such a way and you can overcome the consequences. If he is not interested, let it go. But inform him for a better future and compromised ending for all issues. Have a nice day. Regards, Thank-s

Thanks, dawnald. I have done it one time and I realized that was a stupid move I ever had. I knew that he would not like me to join on a leverage marketing but I violated the rule. He got mad at me and I felt so sorry.

I snuck an organ into the house once. He was mad, but soon he got over it. Besides I was brought up with a father who said no to everything. So even if I was not sure that my husband would not say no or yes, I did it anyway because I was brought up to believe that men will always say no. So I was in shock when he did like the idea of me doing something. I told him that I like surprises and he accepted that.

me and my wife always ask each others opinion regarding what she wants and what i want. if ever she does something without knowledge i guess this will make me feel sad, but of course i will still support her with all my heart. the problem is if ever i do something without her knowledge would she feel the same. sometimes something like this starts a fire in a relationship. it is natural that there are things that a couple disagrees, but i guess being honest is the keyword. but i hope that your husband supports you. good day.

I don't have a husband but i have a bf that i should say i have a high respect with. I ask for his say on whatever my decisions are and he too would ask me on what my feelings are if he does any decisions. It's really not good especially for those married couples to not to ask their partners feelings about anything because for me it's not showing any respect to the other. And if ever my bf would not agree into something that i think is good then of course i will ask why he opposes to it and i too would reason out if his decision is wrong.

Not a good idea to do so as a marriage is a partnership. I would hope he discusses things with me first also. Assuming you are discussing in theory.
