I'm not going to tell someone what clothes they can or cannot wear, what friends they can have or what kind of work or what they do or what they spend money on (so long as we don't end up living in a van down by the river).
If it's a partnership (a real partnership) you don't have to dictate your partner his conduct, but you can be asked to give your opinion, and sometimes it's nice to tell someone they look better in one shirt than in another and to be the outside eye for them when they can't make a decision. That's what a boyfriend is also for. It is also nice to make financial decisions together while retaining a little personal money for freedom's sake.
