FORBID? Yikes, that is a word with too much negative feeling about it. I am not married. Maybe there is a reason? Certainly, I wouldn't even know how I would react if someone 'forbid' me to do anything. I don't even remember my parents using that word with me. I would assume everyone is of legal age when they marry, and can do whatever they want. So, I think using the forbid word is really just an excuse to cover up alot of other issues.

Someone that forbids someone else to do something is looking to exercise some control over that person. That can't be a good thing.

Someone that lets another forbid them from doing something is also allowing themselves to be controlled. That lets them give up the responsibility for their actions. That can't be a good thing.
