Dear Fonseca
The phrase Opposites Attract definitely applies to my fiance and I. We were recently finishing up some pre-marital counseling when he told our therapist that I needed to get permission from him before posting anything on Facebook or Instagram. He said we should have no surprises. I'm active on social media while he is not. I don't think I should have to get his permission before I post anything. The therapist says we need to work together and sort of sided with him. Where do you stand on this? My twin sister says this is a huge red flag and signals control issues. She is asking me to reconsider getting married.
