Your husband can't control you, the only way for him to control you is if you let him! It is your choice to allow him too or not! Either way we only really have control over ourselves and really nothing else! That is why we work on ourselves.
I agree & disagree. If I had healthy self-esteem & self-worth when I married him, I would not have let him control me. Because I did not have those, I believed the way he was treating me was what I deserved. Now, I'm working on myself, I'm developing the confidence to insist that he treat me in non-abusive and non-controlling ways. Thanks for your thoughts.
