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.

same here - the mere thought of it is beyond comprehension. I'll ask if the timing is alright, just in case he's got plans as well, but other than that...

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.

pfffff .... that's silly.
I wonder if some women just make it up - so they feel more 'wanted'
