If you don't trust your partner not to cheat you should break up!

I generally keep my thoughts to myself when others talk about how their relationships work, but whenever someone says a variation of "I don't let my girlfriend talk to straight men, lesbians, or bi people of any gender" I get the urge to whomp them with a big clue-by-four.

Oh my god.

I know, right? Even if we're assuming that this rule only applies to close relationships... what if she (I've seen a he too, just not nearly as often) has a female friend who thought she was straight and then later came out as a lesbian, does all the time they spent pre-coming out retroactively become a betrayal? What about demi people who don't have a gender preference - "you can be friends with this demi person, but you're only allowed to get THIS close"? And I'm guessing that all questioning people are out automatically? "Sorry Jane, since you're not sure if you're straight or not, I can't be friends with you. Call me if you decide you're straight." (I know I'm nitpicking here, but honestly, the only way this rule even works is if you don't think about it too much.)

My guess is they haven't thought about it. What they REALLY want is for their partner to be locked up in their house and swaddled in cotton.

Cotton? Is silk too sexy now, can't have them wearing it in case someone breaks into the house to steal the TV and decides to have sex with them?
