But "living his life" involves cheating for most men. So, it all depends on who you are. Are you the woman who looks the other way while your boyfriend cheats, because after all, it's in better standing with your peers to be with a man than to be single; or are you true to your feelings and yourself, strong enough to demand respect even if it means that the relationship you have will end? Controlling or not, there's no way I would ever agree to be with any man and let him "live his life" and risk bringing home diseases that only I could catch.
