I've been getting some of that controlling stuff too from my W. An example of it ,she told me, was when she went shopping and took out her wallet. She mistakingly took out a credit card and she told her friend that "H would rather I use a debit card instead of a credit card". Her friend asked why do you let your H control you like that. Does this sound petty to you? I know I may be treading on thin ice here but why does it always seem like the W claims the H to be controlling, when you rarely hear the H complain of the W being controlling. Isn't a marriage a team effort on both parts.
