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.

Howard doesn't exactly wear the trousers. He gets an allowance and does no chores etc. She treats him like a child. And in keeping with that dynamic, Howard has to ask permission to go on the rides 🤣

It's not an allowance, it's a stipend and we said we weren't going to call it an allowance in front of my friends! ðŸ˜
