What culture is she from?

I can't imagine having to ask permission to do something I want to do or expecting my partner to ask permission from me. Obviously communciation and letting the other know your plans is nice. But permission isn't necessary.

However, I do know a lot of women who say, "My husband won't let me do that," and "You'll understand when you're married." I just don't know that marriage will ever change my personality that much.

Perhaps that's why I'm still single.
