i asked my wife this question,why are wives allowed to do what they want and us men have to ask permission for everything. her reply was its her body and your body belongs to her til one of you die. told her this was confusing to me,she said if you want a happy marriage you let her lead to a point,when you reach said point thats when you discuss the issue. kinda like if your wife got a tatoo without asking thats alright,but if you did the same its not alright,i know its a double standard,but what are you going to do,its either divorce,or staying married. you may be the breadwinner but she is the boss
