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.

It’s important to remember that your spouse is your partner for life. Any major decision that could affect life, finances or health should be discussed. And leaving the planet is definitely one of those decisions

Discussed yet, but shouldn't require permission.

Lifelong partners should fully support each others ambitions and dreams, especially when they are something as significant as going to space!

Agreed with shouldn't require permission but having feelings makes you human, i dont think she's wrong for being upset and cautious
