When we take charge of our lives there is no longer need to ask permission of other people. And it's my pov that currently she hasn't taken that charge.
completelylost,
Can you explain what you mean by no longer needing to ask permission of other people?
When I was married, if I wanted to buy something for myself, and if cost more than $100, then I'd always ask permission from my wife. I always wanted to make sure the purchase was ok with her. Is that the kind of permission you're talking about?
