Does anyone ever have a partner who has told you they don't want you taking dates to "our places?" I know I've seen a few stories where people have wondered if the waitstaff noticed them taking multiple dates/partners to a place or have had the waitstaff express concern to a partner after witnessing this, but has anyone had a partner tell you a certain place is "off limits?"

Backstory: I connected with someone on Hinge a little over a week ago (who I just found out is a friend's partner and I feel a little weird about it, but that's another story) and she said she would be interested in going to antique/thrift stores to look for weird stuff to add to our respective home decor, which is a hobby of mine. I had a few places in mind for what could be a cute date. I mentioned it to my NP and when I told them the list of places, they said, "Oh, so you're taking her to all our places."

Now, we're not talking restaurants, especially special ones where maybe we had our first date or celebrated our anniversary, etc. The one in particular that they had a problem with is a giant resale/consignment place (Debbie's Darn Good Deals, if you live in the Chicago area, which I highly recommend checking out). Their reasoning is that's where we got Shirley, our blow mold sheep that I decorate for the various holidays (kinda like those concrete geese people have) and that one time we were there, their brother was in the hospital, so they were on the phone with their mother. If anything, I feel like one of the other places, a salvage place, would be more of "our place" because we go there a lot on the weekends and look around (and dream about what cabinet sets we could use to remodel our kitchen), but apparently we've had enough failed projects and arguments there for them not to have fuzzy feelings about the place.

Is this a reasonable ask for my partner? I'm a little annoyed they don't want me to take her to Debbie's because it's such a cool place and there is so much weird and interesting stuff, but I also want to respect their wishes. I'm just looking for some insight here. Do you have places that are off limits for other dates? Why are they off limits?
