I hope you never have to have a surgery as you would not be in control of the knife.
Do you never take a taxi either? How about any vehicle do you always have to drive.
Must have been weird when a guy picked you up for a date and then you said " I'm driving or we're not going."
Do you Never listen to radio either as you are not in control of the music or what they say?
Reading the quote above it seems you HAVE flown even though you Hated it. Yet you Love your Boyfriend, but won't do the little request that he asked for?
It's your life and you can do what you want just seems funny that you refuse, when you are a female and it's much more common for a male to refuse
to ride on the back of another guys bike and I would argue that is because of image more then control. If I didn't think they were a good rider then I wouldn't get on.
However I assume Omar is a good rider - so IF he is not trust worthy then I could see not granting his request.
I've had surgeries, most were deemed necessary to either have children or to fix issues to improve my quality of life. Flying is a choice I make to get from point A to point B, and trust me, if I could, I'd rather drive
Your options there are apples and oranges by the way, but whatever parallels you want to draw to continue this whatever-it-is you're doing is fine by me, I'll play along...
If given the choice with most of my friends, I'll drive, simply because I love to drive, and funny thing is many of my friends love having me drive anyway because I get us there in one piece with zero issues.
I hate taxis but I also rarely ever had to use one, so it's not really an issue.
I'm a music fanatic, and for the most part, if I'm driving, it's my music playing. I try to honor Omar's tastes in music if he's driving, but even he will turn it to my music when he's driving because he knows just how much I love music, way more than he does...do I demand this? Nope, but music drives nearly everything in my life, my moods, how I cope with things, I tune in to it always, and he does not, not like I do. Do I control it? No...
Omar drives often, and I have zero issues with that, but being in a car and being on the back of a bike are very different things as well. Again, apples and oranges. The last time I checked, I didn't know it mattered that I'm a female, I still have free will. I've been on the backs of bikes and it was never a thrill. I take that back; when I was 5 and riding with my Dad in Colorado, THAT was a thrill, but that was 40 years ago. Now it feels much like flying and not nearly as enjoyable as it probably should be, so I exercise my free will and opt to ride myself, on my own Busa that I've owned for nearly 13 years. That free will thing is pretty cool, an option open to both men and women. Imagine that
When I signed up to date Omar, it didn't come with a contract that said I had to grant him wishes involving stepping over lines that make me unhappy, just as I'm fairly certain I wouldn't ask him to do things that make him unhappy or uncomfortable "just because I ask". I'm frequently going off and doing things I love and never expecting Omar to tag along simply because "it's my thing". Being autonomous AND in a relationship has its rewards.
