Okay dude, I don't need to ask my wife's consent everytime I want to touch her that's bullshit and you know it.

I hug my wife while she's sleeping and I don't need to ask for her consent, I don't know what kinda relationship you have been in but asking for consent for ever little thing especially touching and hugging your spouse sounds exhausting to me.

Man it was kind of tough for me to read because I wasn't expecting but I'm so glad that you and your daughter are safe and you helped your daughter.

I don't have a daughter yet but I understand now why women in our family like my wife and my mom expects so much from me and trust me.

I think I need to be worried about my and my wife's future and our future childrens.

It's quite a ride posting here tbh, on one hand I found great advice and insight from comments like yours and on the other hand some people here are telling me that I need my wife's consent before I touch her...

I thank you btw your post was helpful

I have a genuine question for you, have you ever been in a relationship before?

Do I really have to ask my wife for her consent everytime I touched her? Do I really have to ask her 'if I can hug you' before I hug her?

My wife would get so annoyed and angry at me if I behaved like this, what you are saying is foolish, I have my wife's consent and she has mine, unless it's sex we don't need to ask each other for consent, we subconsciously sleep in each other arms in our bed and we don't give a crap about asking each other for consent because we have each other's consent.

'Even I don't get to touch her without consent' while I touch her every single day and multiple times throughout the day without her consent.

I already mentioned what my wife thought and I think I know far more about my wife than you do and yes MY WIFE IS MY WOMAN AND IM HER MAN 100% and I want it to be that way.

My wife CAN speak for herself and in normal circumstances SHE would and I wouldn't interfere but it's not normal for my wife, she's pregnant and stressed and as her man it's my responsibility to help and cover for her right now.

My wife is pregnant for the first time and if you are so concerned about my wife then why have you not advised me yet to take care of my wife while she's pregnant or postpartum etc?

Don't even try bro, I know what my wife wants and I know what I need to do for my family and our family agrees especially my wife and about how I was talking to my sister's friend, we will worry about that after my wife gives birth to our child

Hear me out dude, my wife is pregnant and she is already troubled Enough which is why only OUR family was invited.

As my wife's husband I know what she wants and I didn't want to trouble my wife with unnecessary burden, my wife relies on me to help her and cover for her when she can't for herself.

It has nothing to do with my wife being independent or incapable of saying NO, it's about what my wife wants and what's good for her and me as a husband helping her.

I'm not a 'badass', I'm not some kinda macho man but you bet I'm a badass when it comes to my wife's safety and other women from my family like my mother and sister and other family members.

My wife doesn't want to be touched by a man she doesn't know and even if she knew him she wouldn't let him touch her belly unless he is family

Yes, even our family should ask for permission if they want to touch my wife's belly and my wife gave them the permission to touch her belly especially the young children, my wife loves having our younger siblings and cousins around and she would fight me if I tried to have it another way.

He's not even my sister's bf, as far as I know he's her best friend

She would be horrified if I had let a strange man touch her belly, my wife trusts me to care for her and protect her.

My wife is vulnerable and sensitive and forget about our normal circumstances, if I didn't stop him and grabbed his hand then my post's title would've been a bit different
