It is funny you brought this up today because I was just pondering this question last night.

My H's OW is very controlling. My kids have snooped and read his text's and OW says things like, "Hurry up, you are 8 minutes late". She monitors his every move.

Do they like this?

My H use to tell me I was too controlling and I really was not.

The only thing I can think of is when one is in adolescence, even though we are rebelling, we still feel safe when authority figures put restrictions on us. It sets our boundaries and helps us stay in line. Maybe they need this control at this point. I don't know. We all know are H's struggle with "feeling safe"
