I posted just a bit ago on peoples reqs for finding a new partner.. someone posted "common sense" as a requirement... and it got me thinking.. I think I need help deciphering whether or not asking someone to have common sense about things when they dont have it is controlling and at what point do you give up and move on, knowing that person isnt compatible..

I see a lot of people posting about how their ex was controlling and how they love to do things they couldnt/ weren't allowed to do before and that's totally fair. All the the things posted are things everyone should have the right to do.. "hang with friends" etc.

But here's one of my issues with my ex.. am I controlling for things like expecting that if she takes a sewing needle out of the case to put it right back once she's done with it? .... lest it be left and ends up in someone's foot a week later?
