I wonder how many would stay with dominating spouse for fear of going it alone and being prepared to work to rebuild a life free of someone else's control? You Remainers are so weak. You know the price of everything and the value of nothing - but moan on, as is your preference. This country will survive and thrive despite it.

//in what way did this make you feel like you were being oppressed?//
Because I expect the Parliament for which I voted to be supreme. I don't expect a conglomeration of unelected foreigners - of whom few people in this country have heard - to be able to overturn its decisions. Democracy means that you have a modicum of control over your country's politicians. It doesn't mean that their decisions only stand provided a supranational organisation agrees with them.
To make it clear, I disagree fundamentally with the very idea of a "European Union". Such political unions have been tried only a few times in the recent past and all attempts have failed - for very good reason. I believe in the supremacy of national Parliaments, elected by their electorates. It's an ideological thing and half a percent on GDP either way does not alter that.

//ok but i asked about oppression new judge and what you're describing is not oppression it is ideological disagreement//
It made me feel oppressed. I felt that the government that was voted into office was not in control of the country I live in and that feeling increased as the EU assumed more powers and removed individual members' power of veto. That's oppression in my view but such things are subjective. I'm glad you didn't feel oppressed when the UK was an EU member but I did and I'm very pleased we're out of it. Whether it knocks a percentage point or two off our GDP or whether I have to stand in a separate queue when arriving in an EU country is neither here nor there to me. I appreciate that it has had different, perhaps adverse effects on other people. That’s regrettable but perhaps those who wanted to remain should have turned out in greater numbers so as to influence the result. The problem was that many people believed we would be asked to vote again in the event of the “wrong” answer being given (in line with many other votes among EU members). Thankfully, despite a concerted campaign to ensure just that, they were mistaken.
