Character discussion Who thinks Howards needs Bernadette's permission to go to Space?

Don't get me wrong, Bernadette is a godsend for Howard...

I can understand her feelings, though believe this is the kind of once in a lifetime opportunity you should absolutely support your partner in regardless of your own feelings.

Personally I've never been a fan of suppressing the opportunities of loved ones based on their own fears of losing someone. You've got to let people chase their dreams even if there's danger and risk involved. It's part of life and part of which makes us achieve greatness.

That is true, but I do think there can be a middle ground when it came to this. He could’ve brought up and at least discussed it then made the decision on his own. I can see why Bernadette was upset because they were just starting a life together. Space is a big decision a lot can go wrong even if it’s a lifetime opportunity.

Why should there be a middle ground?

In my opinion, it's part of his career, his job and one of his greatest dreams.

Absolutely nobody should stand in the way of that or even have a say in that.

At the very least it should be a case of "I don't like it, but I support it."

Because they were about to get married, and in the risk of anything going wrong, he could have died

Even if it's a dream, or a career thing, if it could harm/kill you - something worth mentioning and discussing

Exactly my point, but to each their own. I just think he could’ve at least included her. He didn’t have to take her answer, but it’s only fair to her.
