Jesus. The fact that he was at one point trying to get her cured does not mean that he was not controlling. I grant you that it doesn't prove that he was, either, but it fits the facts of his later behavior exceedingly well. I suspect you've never seen such a relationship up close. I've seen a couple where the wife was definitely, no question, being physically abused, and yes, they both kept going back, because such men aren't monsters, and they are often very likeable (and apparently lovable) in their better moments.
But your challenge can eqally well be reversed. Prove that he acted in her interests! The fact is that in the absence of a trial transcript at a minimum neither of us can prove to the satisfaction of the other that he/she is right. Having said all that, there is this Microsft white paper I really need to get through. This is a lot less dry but it isn't getting me through the material.
