I dont know if i can do it anymore.. long..

I just think after all this time that i'm just being a big baby about it all and just to suck it in and accept it as it is. you decide.

I've waited till i was in my 30's to get my license and it was ok with DH just to find out he perfers me at home and he will always know where i'm going since i have to ask everyone he knows for a ride. anyway..

so I finally got my license and he "jokingly' accused me of wanted to "screw" around but we know it wasnt a joke. He even gets so insecure, he has to have his "acceptance" speech from me about how much i love him and if i'd ever cheat on him and so on. Now all my kids are off to school and i would like to find volunteer work, I was soooooo happy so i had papers mailed to me to fill out...

yep, he killed it for me. I even asked him if he thought it was a good idea, i can't remember what he said but it was something like "you don't need to do it 7 days a week, you arent getting paid." and so i replied "you can't tell me what to do" .

so the weekend comes and he asked me about my volunteering hours and days. while i'm telling him, he's like "what if i need the car on sundays? you can only do 4 hours a day and 4 days a week, that's enough, you got dogs and dinner to do here."

i'm trying to not give into his drama, i hate it cause it just gets worse and worse with him. So he continues to want an answer if i was going to fill out the papers without "asking" him about it first. Of course i was but he didnt need to know.

I just wish i had someone more supporting and less controlling

  • I can't imagine being with someone who wanted to put dinner in front of me having a drop of independence or needs a pep talk before I can leave his sight. My husband LOVES me, in part, because I am willing to work as hard as he is toward providing for our family and investing in our future. He didn't want another "dependent". Now, that said, I have stayed home, and I am currently only working part-time because our kids are young (our oldest is 6), and we homeschool, but he has always attempted to make it work so that one of us was home with the kids all the time. He also makes sure that the logistical issues (arranging our schedules) are worked out as best they can be.

    I can see if there was a legitimate concern over sharing a vehicle on a certain day or something, but that's not what it sounds like. It sounds like he is scared to death to let you out of the house because you'll whore around (not true)...no trust at all.

  • I would be leaving him. He sounds just like my ex, very controlling. The sooner you leave, the better.

  • I think you demand him and you to go to counseling,, I assume he realizes almost every woman in today's age drives a car? I think he needs to be supportive, not trying to lock you up with a chasitiy belt,
    You might want to point out, it doesn't take a car or a DL to screw around,, I am sure you can find someone willing to drive and pick you up, to mess with them.
    I can't tell if you love him or not, but sounds to me like he wants you under his thumb,, and this is not a good thing.

  • yeah, we only have one car but he says he is looking for one for me but they are spendy for them cause they get good gas milage. but on the other hand, he leaves the car behind, he doesnt take it to work. I have told him i planned to go to walmart before and it ended up in "Wait till i get home from work or till friday when i have off" or he will get into his moods where i apparently have a boyfriend to go to

  • >>he has to have his "acceptance" speech from me about how much i love him <<

    My answer would be, "I used to love you. You killed that DEAD. Here's your stuff. GOODBYE!"
