Today’s topic: Controlling husband Good Morning to you all, I am a 28 year old married woman with four kids (two girls and two boys). My spouse has a control issue. He controls the money, he buys everybody’s clothes, and he shops for all the food. I know you are probably saying that this is a good thing because most men don’t do these things. This has been going on for eight years and now I feel like I have no voice. I don’t want my girls to grow up thinking that they should be with a man that is controlling and I don’t want my boys to be controlling men. By the way I work and make $15-an-hour and he works and makes $13-an-hour. We have two cars and a house. I just want to have a say sometimes. What must I do? Signed, 28 going on 8
