Do husbands have the right!?

Icewomanblockstheshot	Ummm, not really. BUT, they have every right to tell you what NOT to wear!!!

Valentina	Hell no

Rebeccah	Nope.

Amie G	No!

Martin Pedersen	Your right to tell her what to wear is protected by the 1st Amendment to the Constitution. However, she is in no way obligated to listen to you or comply.

lyndsyherard	I think that this question should be answered on a case by case basis. My husband would never try to tell me what I could and couldn't wear, but at the same time, I would never wear something that had my A$$ hanging out of it. I would never do that because I have respect for myself and my family. In the same respect my husband always asks my opinion on his clothing and values my answer. In other situations men or even women can try and force you to dress the way they want you to simply because they are trying to be controlling. In that siuation no this is not ok. Each individual has the right to dress the way the want and be an individual and as long as you are comfortable in what you are clothed in than, no one should have the right to tell you otherwise.

Gabby_Gabby_Purrsalot	Only when I ask him to find me some clothes. Even then, I'll usually chose either a different blouse or bottom because he can't match his way out of a paper bag.

Common Sense	They have a duty of tell her their opinion of what she is wearing and how it looks on her... That doesn't mean they can actually dictate the choice...

Smiley	I don't think he can treat you like a kid, but if he has a good reason for asking you to not wear a particular outfit, you should respect and love him enough to not wear it. thats if he has a good reason why not to wear it.

ERICKSMAMA	My husband picks out my clothes...He has better style than I do and knows what he likes to see on me..I dont care as long I still fell comfortable.

Starla_C	Not in America they don't!

caviler2	no i dont belive you have the right,but as a good gesture you could take her shopping and have her try a few items on and be sure to tell her how she looks.change is good,but id never let a man tell me what i could or couldnt wear,thats not life anymore.

N.FromVT	nope.

Keith Python	Why not. Wives do it to husbands all the time. : ) Just kidding. No, but suggestions are often welcome.

shyone	I do not think he has a right to tell her. He may want to act like a loving husband and make suggestions. I had a shirt on one day that said" Heaven Doesn't Want Me And Hells Afraid I Will Take Over" He told me to go take that shirt off. I did, I came back out with one that said" PMS, Putting Up With Men's $hit". I think he was afraid to tell me to go change again. LOL

joyceeleann	No..its a shared agreement not slaverly papers.

cookie	No husband or wife has the right to tell their spouce what to wear. You might want to suggest to your wife that you would love it if she would dress up more. Perhaps you could even have theater tickets or reservations to a fancy restaurant. This way she won't be offended by thinking that you just aren't attracted to her anymore. Women tend to get our feelings hurt when suggestions are brought up about our apparrel. You might want to take her out shopping and ask her to pick out something special for a special occasion. That way, she won't think you are trying to turn her into someone she isn't. Thank you and good luck.

Karrose	No. They have the right to offer an opinion. That's it.

missyofallainhouse	I think husbands should tell their wives if something they are wanting to wear does not accentuate their body. I don't think it should be just because they think it shows too much cleavage or something, but if it just outright doesn't look good, they should tell their wives.

sentrysharpshooter	You re question is right on the line where black and white meet you know the Gray area... so to best answer this I will say that first of all there are a few key things to making a GOOD relationship work and affinity, reality ,and communication are just a few the one I think is relevant to this question is compromise and communication if you are having these types of questions there are more serious issues than what you or you're spouse wear . And my wife and I tell each other all the time weather or not we like what the other is wearing so if the wife doesn't care about the opinion of her husband and the husband doesn't like what the wife wears ... like I said bigger issues than that are at play and you both better get a handle on them and FAST before they cause bigger problems than what you wear bottom line WAKE UP and talk to one another about what is bothering you NOW!!!!!!

Jon S	hahahahaha, sorry I just tried to imagine what would happen if I tried to tell my wife what to wear..... um, no.

Poppet	No, but he does have the right to NOT be seen with you if your style will embarrass him. Example: Your dressed in your finest tube top, mini skirt, and stilettos going to a formal dress dinner with his co-workers. I wouldn't want to be seen with you either. You could be a hazard to his career prospects.

jcss_003	you have the right to tell her what langere to wear, maybe ask her to dress up for a night out on the town.....but to tell them what to wear...a little harsh! maybe tell her what to wear in her closet!

Scalawag-101	No. But he can make suggestions.

LoriBeth	hell no!

HENRY M	no, husbands don't have the right to tell their wives what to wear. What you can do is speak with her and tell her how you feel. Tell her she is a beautiful woman and you would love to see her in some outfits that show off how lovely she is....then, it is up to her if she wants to wear them or not....

Cherri	NO and you are stupid for putting up with it.

MJL613	This is America, so he has the right to say what he wants. Of course, you have the right to not listen. :)

Nom Nom Nom	Nope. They can tell you what they'd like you to wear, but that's just a suggestion. Nobody can force you to wear things you don't want to wear.

babyphat.1984	no they dont have the right.now if a girl is prouncing aroune in clothes that show everything i think he has the right to put out his opinion,and stop that.
