It upsets me that my boyfriend wouldn't let me order what I wanted at brunch the other day.
Out of curiosity, what were you trying to order?
Well I wanted a starter and fish and chips but he got all weird about the price of the food on the menu, so I felt disrespected
Honestly, if you wanted those things then you should have insisted. Your boyfriend shouldn't control every aspect of your life and ordering what you want at brunch should be something you should be able to do without any issue.
But I always listen to what my boyfriend wants! I don't understand why he's making me feel so restricted.
I'm not sure why your boyfriend is trying to restrict your choices either, but it's not right that he wants to be so controlling and you should put your foot down when it comes to your choices and independence. Being in a relationship doesn't give one the right to prevent their partner from making their own choices.
