She needs your permission?
Green flag
She's your partner, not your kid.
Equals. Or nothing.
Does your girlfriend need your permission?
Why?
No. She's your partner, not your kid. You can talk about plans together, but she doesn't need your approval to go out, take a job, see friends or make her own choices. A relationship works between equals. If one person has to ask permission for everything, it's not a partnership anymore.
