Some women like to consider their *partners* feelings, whether or not you think they should get a say in this.

Interesting that he is "her partner," but she is "his woman." I think that's where my irritation starts, before we get onto any petty jealousy about how she chooses to feed their child.

as you said it's *their* child not just hers, and , well, everyone likes different things in a relationship, alot of people do like the aspect of being someone's and them being just yours etc. I have a feeling you don't though.

Also, it doesn't mean the man has to control where she breastfeeds, but there's no harm in getting his opinion; the parts of his opinion she agrees on or wouldn't mind doing, she can act upon.

I have no objection to being someone's partner/wife (which I am) - but the connotation of "my woman" is rather repulsive to me. Especially if it means he thinks he can decide who I am friends with or where I feed our child - which is a non-sexual activity, after all.

I appreciate more that some of my male friends wouldn't be comfortable seeing me feed, and would try to work out a suitable compromise, but avoiding it because my partner might get jealous? No thanks.

we red blooded males have, and shall always, territorialise (and yes, sadly, sometimes, by extension, objectify) our womenfolk, in a way that most women simply do not (to the same degree/extent), in reverse

Why would a guy control who you're friends with? That's weird as ****. What I'm trying to explain is there's a difference between a man being controlling, and valuing his opinion. It's just like the whole, if your boyf doesn't like a certain item of your clothing just don't wear it around him out of courtesy, principle.
I'm not saying do whatever he says all the time, I can't explain anymore tbh ...

I take it you don't like possessive men and that's just you, but there's a difference between being territorial and being controlling.


honestly it's just that we don't want random men trying to dominate us, and only want it from partners we've chosen (if at all).

The guy right below you said he wouldn't want "his woman" to have certain friends. And that's apparently ok because he's a "red-blooded male."

I made my original post in the middle of the night, having been breastfeeding my 2 week old. So yeah, it's a pretty close personal topic at the moment! I've found it a very intense experience, both in terms of actually getting to grips with it and ensuring he's getting enough food, and then learning to do it in front of people/in public, knowing that there's always the chance someone is going to disapprove. Fortunately I have an incredibly supportive husband who's backing me up through all of this, to have to deal with him being petty and jealous over people possibly seeing a bit of boob being deployed for its natural function would just be too much.

Because they're together and she's not an ******** and realises her significant other has feelings too and they are more important than stupid acts of rebellion.

I understand your perspective as a mother is more insightful than mine. I mean just generally, if a husband doesn't have a problem , for example, with his wife wearing a bikini on a beach then showing a bit of boob shouldn't really be an issue, should it?
