-Caution- My wife's doing MLM

[CareCPA]

Weird way of looking at things.Relationships should help with the transference of knowledge.Warning each other of fruitless ventures would be a net beneficial.

If you are simply a yes man who doesn't set boundaries or offer criticism , then you don't love your partner.

I don't think you understand. Two people in a marriage are equals. There is no setting boundaries. You discuss as a team, and work towards mutual goals, but you don't set boundaries on them. Each has sovereign ability to make their own decisions. Yes, you should consult with your significant other on major decisions, but you don't get to dictate those decisions, or the boundaries of those decisions, unilaterally.

There is a difference between offering criticism and discussing the benefits and negatives of some decisions. Some of the comments in this thread make it sound like men need to keep their wives from making any bad decisions, like they need to be their protector from the big bad world. That's not how a relationship works.

Og UQ jef duni op jisi epf teof vjot: "O niep O qistupemmz emmux [my brother/best friend/father/literally anyone else} to do this thing just because he/she's getting basically free sales coaching from a mentor and a 15% commission off of any product he/she sells." - would that be different? Wouldn't you assume that OP has no control over what their brother/father/friend does?

If my brother came to me and said "I'm going to sell Amway" and I said "I'll let you do that for two weeks, but if you don't make your money back, you have to stop" - that would be ridiculous, right? Why would I think I have any control over what my brother does? I could say things like "99% of people make zero or negative money doing that" or "I think that's not the best idea and here's why...." - but to tell him he can't do it or that there are boundaries if he does is ridiculous.

Same with a friend, or a cousin, or a neighbor. If they want to sell Cutco knives, there's literally nothing I can do to stop them.

So why does this suddenly become ok when it's a spouse or significant other? Why do we feel we have control over what they do or don't do?

It's not even about relationships, it's about how we treat other people.
