Do you own your partner?

I know people like that friend of yours. He acted like a jerk, if you want my opinion. The girl is talking, so let her talk. That's all insecurity, needing to reassure his power all the time in order to feel well with himself and not being afraid of the girl having a mind on her own. If i were you i'd tell her to leave him right away.

sorry to say, but in earlier days things were like that in my country. however, to much relief its getting better with ppl getting educated. its such a humiliating thing! but having said this, we, sometimes, kind of confuse between owning and pampering our loves. pampering is sweet and cherishable while owning is sick. thanx.

No I do not own my partner neither she. We are totally independent persons having our own idealogies, thinking and beliefs. But when it comes to family, we sit together and find a solution together.

I disapprove with that kind of status - being owned and possessed by man. You are right that women have their lives of their own. They have their right to do what they want, think what they want, meet who they want. We are not property that guys can use, and dispose thereafter. There may be some times that we have to concede to what they say, but not to a point that they manipulate us and control us. Equality must prevail

i don't think anyone should OWN anyone else. i think that is disgusting. People are their OWN selves and they don't need anyone else to take possession of them. Nobody should even try to possess anyone else. That is just wrong and sick.

i don't like this!!

I think it is a good idea to let a person breath in a relationship and let them have space. There is no need to be possessive at all.

passion and i am my own person, i am married but he does not own me and me him.

no I don't own my partner, people don't own people we are not animals, or objects. But I do expect a certain behavior from him. And everyone has an opinion sometimes my opinion will be the one followed sometimes it will be my partners opinion.

It would a cold day in hell before I let any man 'own' me. I am my own property I guess you could say. i don't ask my fiance when I can and can not do something. I mention it to him, and ask if we have plans at the time, but I DO NOT go to him and as "can I go do _____" heck no. Won't ever happen. If it's part of your custom, that's all well and good for you. But I will not accept it. At all. I will never think it's okay, for myself.

it is all up to you if let yourself stop what you are doing which you don't have.there is a word that keep us on track in working out a relationship ,"compromise".this one keeps us in tune with ourselves to your partners. when the two of you together ,initially that's where the trouble starts, your differences will get in the way , so you have to understand yourself first then the other person and you start to talk about it openly and not argumentative.remember, both of you are in love with each other so respect should be your referee.if you can't do it and you feel that you are being retricted of your independence after talking and it's still his way then it's time to ship out and save a lot of energy until you find someone whom you can converse with.

OMG, I too hate the whole 'we'thing all the time a couple talks especially when they go 'we are pregnant' - Anyway, yes, it is a thin line and a couple should try and respect each other's own time, personality and individuality - isn't that what attracts us to one another anyway??? Did you ever see souples who wear the same T-shirts, jackets, hats etc. - I think its sweet but OMG I would never ever do that!!!!

My guy and I are equal partners in this relationship. We both share our thoughts and beliefs and opinions and it works. We don't always agree on things actually, we agree only about 50% of the time. However, we do agree that we are our own people and that we respect each other and our thought snad opinions. I love him for so many reasons and he returns the feelings. I have been in a relationship where the guy was the boss and it just didn't work out. Then I was briefly with this chap who wanted me to ALWAYS make the decisions. For example I would ask if he wanted to go out that night, he would say I don't know do you want to? Then I would say where should we go? He would say where do you want to go etc.. then the next day he would mention something like "well I didn't really wanna go there anyways last night" ??? sheesh. That was horrible. I love the relationship I'm in now.

My sister used to in that kind of relationship. I told her numerous times to leave her bf but she was kinda trapped cuz the psychotic bf would then start to threaten her if she left him! They fought all the time and she'd always end up crying.. Everyone told her to leave him, but I think I can understand how difficult it must've been for her. Anyways, she did leave him eventually and ended up marrying a great guy who practically lets her do anything she wants! I think I own someone is totally wrong. There are certain 'rules' or 'guidelines' so to speak, that we impose on our significant other. But it doesn't mean that they are ours to possess.

I don't believe that just becuase I am a woman I am someone else's posession. I am accountable for myself and to myself. I do not approve of women being "owned" by anyone.
