confused... what do u think ?

Soo lately I been confused between the topic of being controlling and telling someone when you don't like something -like theses are the repercautions if this happens. my bf says I should have a laid back approach to relationships. but I feel if someone doesn't like what another person is doing they should make it known how it makes them feel cause some ppl dont know if their stepping a boundarie or not. lol I'm sick of being called controlling when I'm just telling someone how I feel and what I'm not gonna put up with. I know at the end of the day people are gonna do what they want regardless .
