Marriage doesn't entitle one to the body of another. It is toxic and manipulative to coerce a partner into giving up access to their body out of some arbitrary social obligation. No one should ever feel obligated to give up their bodily autonomy for another against their will.

    He still has his bodily autonomy and is doing things fully consenting. It's just a small sacrifice, doesn't mean it isn't consenting. Besides sex, you should make sacrifices in a relationship, within certain boundaries of course.

    Being coerced into capitulating to the demands of another out of a manipulative and abusive social obligation is not the same as consent. Fuck that unhealthy, toxic nonsense.

    Respect the boundaries of others. Period.

    No, if your relationship demands you sacrifice your boundaries, that is an unhealthy relationship. Partners should respect your boundaries, not ask you to sacrifice them for their comfort. Fuck that.

    I never said you should breach your boundaries. But, if your partner wants chocolate cake and you don't, but it isn't much of a hassle then you can make your partner some chocolate cake. It's just going out of your way to do something for someone else.
