Oh, yes. Absolutely. Somehow reading this MLC website has put me in a pretty good PMA state today. He's controlling also. He didn't give me 100% control as he likes to say, I took control of things like the kids, raising them, the household, the bills, making our vacations, etc. Yes, planning our free time, I admit it, I am high energy and he's just laid back and I probably (OK, definitely) need to learn to relax more...
But he controlled ME through fear - fear of his reaction, fear of his rejection, etc. One day he'll learn this. In the meantime, I am learning patience. Finally. LOL
