Do you need to ask moma?..

I read and enjoyed all the posts, nothing I can add to a well covered subject.

But I can tell you a funny true story. I was out to eat with some friends one evening and one of them was going thru a divorce and was complaining that his wife had a lawyer and he was only going to get half of everything.

Another guy laughed and said,
Well then I need to get a divorce since I'm married and I don't get no where near half.
 
I think that we like to complain and stand around barking at shadows to make ourselves feel more manly, but if the truth were really told most of us are not really asking permission from our women. We are showing respect and consideration for our spouse. Just like we'd like to be treated.

I've never had to ask permission to do anything, but I do check with my wife prior to making any commitments, just to be sure that I haven't forgotten any thing. I either get "sure Babe, have fun." or "that's the twins birthday", but never "NO, you can't go".

It's just simple consideration and courtesy to check with her prior to committing to something. She's more than I deserve and I want to keep her.
 
Don't have to ask permission but it sure keeps the harmony when I keep her informed. The respect thing goes both ways. She does the same for me!
 
My husband and I will check with each other for most things. If I come in and he isn't home, I don't call him. I expect him home when he is done. If I want to go out on the bike before he gets home, I may call him to see if he may want to join me, or if I want to do some shopping or something that I know he will not be interested in doing with me, I may call to see if he has a better plan, but that is the extent of it. We have been best friends for nearly 25 years now, and after 20 years of dating all the wrong people, we finally got married and have continued having fun in a relationship built on trust and respect. :s
 
Mat interesting post. I have seen some men who seem to be a little over the top when it comes to having to check in or ask permission. As for me my wife has never made me feel that I have to ask to go somewhere or that I have to check in. That being said there is something in any relationship called respect. If you like it or not your wife/girlfriend/significant other worries about you and deserves to be kept in the loop. This also goes the other way, out of respect my wife doesn't make plans that involve us without checking to see if it interfers with something I have going on. When we treat each other as equal partners we respect the other and ask the same in return. Trust goes a long way in making any relationship last, respect is the glue that keeps it together.

Exactly, and well said.
