.hhmm..let it be, that's her/him. maybe that's her/him way of showing affection ehehe. on the other hand, if it's too much, i'll just talk to her/him and be honest with what i feel about it and tell her/him that she should trust me a little bit, and if nothing happens, no changes, and i cant take it anymore then that's the end of the story...i.e...if i dont love her/him that much. but if i love her too much then there's no saddest thing as fallin' apart..the choice is yours...to have her/him in your life being who she/he is...or to live your life without her. for me i like it, being strict for me means she/he loves me and she/he wants what she/he thinks is best for me, i dont like partners who are insensitive and so open and lets you do what you want...i dont feel secure and confident of that kind of personality.
In my case, I tend to start serious conversation with my hubby and will tell him that in a certain relationship we need to know the word "GROW" for the relationship to last, but then if he is so strict and cannot go with the flow or rhythm of your lifestyle, make it clear with him that you cannot just be isolated in your relationship,. But you as his partner or her partner, you need to respect his or her decision as well if you want to strengthen the relationship you both have. IT's a give and take process... OTei??

everything that is too much is not good. moderation is needed in everything, even in a relationship. as for my case, i'm not that strict. but I want my partner to let me know of his plans, not necessarily ask permission to do this or do that. but just to let me know is enough. i'd be willing to do the same for him..
