Jim, I hate to say this, but it sounds to me as if you are probably better weather out of your life, if that's possible. Someone who takes complete control like that is completely disregarding your input as a partner, let alone a husband.
I have to say that if I had to relinquish complete control, I would definitely choose to stay alone. Some control loss is inevitable. That is where compromise comes into play in a marriage. Hopefully you will be able to get through this without too many more difficulties. Good luck, Quadius PS my new microphone isn't doing as well as I had thought, so please excuse any mistakes.

Good choice Ron for not married that Lady. I'm going to have my 25th wedding anniversary in June but my wife left me last October but we're still married. As for control, you have every right to fear the loss of control. I came home from rehab in October of 2000 and from that day my wife took control of everything and I had no say or little say from that day forward. I would ask her about finances and she would tell me not to worry about it and I would try to discipline the kids but she would tell them that they did not have to listen to me and she would not take me out very often until I was able to drive my own van. She was even really upset because she needed to take a day off from work to go with me to pick my van up and from there it just got worse. She did not discuss the purchase of a $6000 entertainment center or the $2200 washer and dryer or even the $5500 car that she just bought for our daughter without telling me so either myself or my friends could check it out. So my friend, I feel you made the right decision. Jim ------------------------------ See what's free at AOL.com <http://www.aol.com/?ncid=AOLAOF00020000000503>.
