This is gaslighting language: "This is how it's supposed to be" with no real facts and certainly no declaration of limits. It's okay to cross any boundary in the process of asserting yourself, the way you've put it. In addition, it's quite an insincere sentiment to think of status items only in terms of status. Numerous things can motivate dressing up or getting exercise, and finding the appropriate motivation for them is part of getting a "whole life" instead of just status accumulation. If sincerity is abandoned from the start, the relationship is just business.
