Maybe the “let” thing is fair… my last girlfriend would have kicked my ass for wearing a thong in public, not that I ever would…
…and while I quite enjoy having other guys stare at my girl, I think I have the right to say “You can’t wear THAT!” because I’d allow her the same courtesy.
Hmmmmm. I didn’t even realize I used quotes until you pointed it out. I’m probably quoting my ex! LOL
As I said, in a mature relationship you are both independent and interdependent. In immature relationships the partners tend to be codependent. I would never dream of telling my wife what she can and cannot wear (or whether she can or cannot cut her hair), but I don’t much have to worry about it because she cares enough about my opinion that she doesn’t make choices that would upset me (though I can’t think of many choices that would upset me) just as I don’t make choices that would upset her. We also communicate enough to know what will and will not cause that upset. At least we try. Every relationship has its surprises, both good and bad.
I’m not sure why you felt it necessary to suggest “tact and good timing;” did my post lack those qualities?
I still don’t get how a woman wearing a thong equates to her “using” the man she’s with. Using you for what? A frame? If you go away, is her ass not still in the thong?
Seriously, I don’t get this.

I’d like a further cite for this, please.
