The key control issues for my situation is now money, but it used to be sex.
I suppose with sex, the one who has lower desire controls the issue. She had lower desire, and was totally in control of when we made love. Totally in control always. For us, money was never an issue. I didn't want to live concerned about money. I had a good job. We just lived within our means, I didn't mind much abotu the money. She ran the household budget. I guess she controlled that, too, but it wasn't really a concern of mine.
Now that she has filed for divorce, she maintains control over the sex of course, but now adds the money as something in her control. Money has become a huge control issue because we don't have enough for a house for me, while she remains in the family home. Weirdly, her control is backfiring, and because she is divorcing me, she will be forced from the home.
