My original answer was based upon the assumption that the demand was fueled by the "petty" type of disagreement.

Knowing the reason why is the only way one could answer a question like this with any accuracy.
Does she believe she is protecting you in some way?
Is there some animosity between the S.O. and your family?
Or, does she simply not like the non-human animals your family watches over?  |

If it's because they are just stubborn and ignorant, then they need to readjust their principles. |

Same goes for a woman's POV. Marriage is teamwork, not a dictatorship.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Pacific Northwest | | | I see my siblings once a year at the obligatory christmas gathering. We smile and pretend were happy to see one another. But we've all agreed that once our parents are gone, we'll likely never see each other again. So for me, it wouldn't even be an issue.
However, I do have to say that as someone who has been married, if I were to re-marry and my new wife started making demands, I would get rid of her just on the principle of the matter. I'll not be told by anyone who I can and can't have in my life.
