My GF (23F) of 5 years has suddenly started to try enforcing curfews on me (23M)
We started dating in school and I knew I wanted to marry her, but all of a sudden she’s starting to say she doesn’t know if she can stay with me if I don’t change.
It’s never been a problem before, but now if I go out with friends she tries to enforce a curfew with me. It’s literally small gatherings with my friends that I’ve always had.
I’ve invited her before but she says she doesn’t want to be around people she doesn’t know. For example, I’ll usually head home around 2 or 3AM and now she’s saying I have to be back by 10 or 11.
I waited my whole youth to be an adult who can live life how he wants to finally. All of sudden I have someone else now (in my eyes) treating me like a child saying I’m not respecting her boundaries if I don’t listen.
I’ve never told her anything limiting where she can go or at what time she has to leave. She says if I want to be with her and marry her I have to respect her expectations.
I just feel as if you want someone you want to be a life partner you wouldn’t want to decrease their quality of life or social interactions.
Is my view of marriage immature? Is there any solution here?
