My husband is controlling, what should I do?

Girl RUN FAST AND RUN FAR!

You let it go on too long and submitted to his control. Leave or stay in that situation. Those are your only options because it’s way too late to change his ways.

You wear whatever the hell you want. If he doesn’t like it, then he can take himself off to get some therapy for his control issues & insecurities. xx

He sounds like a narcissistic person not just the controlling what you wear but the childish way of not speaking to you because you wore something he didn’t like and making you feel in the wrong.
My x husband was a narcissist sadly nothing I did changed that.

Had one like that and left him. Now have another one who doesn’t tell me what not to wear ect. Sorry there’s no way I would go through that hell again. This is controlling abusive behaviour. Next step he will not allow you to see your family or friends final one is he will end up hitting you. Get out before it gets to this stage

Is your outfits the only thing he tries to control because generally that’s how abusive relationships start. They try to control things like how you dress, who your friends are, where you go, etc. I definitely wouldn’t put up with that especially when it’s just summer dresses, shorts, etc. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that.

You are doing nothing wrong ! Don’t let him do it cos if you do he will start to control more and more of your life ,! Your friends your family ! He could even start now cos he feels like he’s loosing the control he had over you ! Stick to your guns ! You are not in the wrong at all ! X

I would leave. He sounds like a controlling, manipulative, narcissistic a$$clown. If he genuinely didn’t feel comfortable with you wearing something, he should say “hey i personally love that on you, but can you wear something else - only i like to see you like that” etc. instead of demanding you to change and then acting like a child by ignoring you for days to come. I could be wrong but it sounds like he is insecure about himself and doesn’t want anyone to see you in an appealing way

Your husband sounds like an asshole.

Do you control what he wears? If you don’t then that tells you all! But he’ll no, my husband has never told me what and what I could not wear! I’m an independent person and I can make up my own mind, now I do make sure that I don’t wear too revealing but that is my choice, not his.

You’re not wrong for standing up for yourself. If he cannot love you for who you are, then leave his ass and go be happy!

Imagine if your best friend asked you if they were wrong for wearing a dang dress, what would you say? Would you say “well yeah, you should listen to your husband”? iiii don’t think so

Hell no i wear what i want too. Whether he likes it or not.

I’d wear the skimpiest most revealing thing I could find out of spite and walk out the door after handing them divorce papers. Adios broham.

My husband wouldn’t get away with it. I value myself more than that. I’m a grown ass woman and have a mind of my own. No one control me but me,

If he doesn’t care about what you wear then you should be worried. He’s protective over you and this is just an extension of his protective nature. He thinks highly of you and he wants you to look respectable and carry yourself with dignity.

No way. I do ask his opinion at times just to see if he likes it but, I wear what I want.

My husband never says anything about my clothes.

Instead of changing clothes, change men. Your man should appreciate your style and accept you, as well as trust even if you get attention in an outfit that you are still faithful to him.

Just another abusive narcissist! :fu:

Remind him of what attracted him to you when you first met am sure you wore dresses, shorts etc…
So what’s changed? obviously him he is trying to own you like a object rather than a person. Put a stop to it or walk away, good luck.

Controlling. Not good

He is too controlling and possibly he is scared of other men looking at you. Keep doing what you are, I lived 13 yrs like that, tell him he is not dictating any more. Warn him he will lose you if he carries on

My man could care less what I wear. A sun dress, my old stained shirts with baggy shorts. He has never commented about the way I dress.
The way your husband is controlling you is not okay
Especially over something that shouldnt even be brought up in a discussion anyways.
He sounds jealous possessive and controlling towards you and that is NOT a healthy marriage.

He can have his opinions but he doesn’t get to decide. Most men I know are proud to show off their lady and know other men want her, but only he can have her.

I had a lifetime of this, he wont change. If you want to explore why he is like this ask/tell him HE needs counselling, it’s all about HIS insecurities. He is jealous of the way you look ,he knows you look good and he can’t handle it. Do you want to have this for the rest of your life? Eventually he will suck the confidence from you. I speak from experience.

He needs to tell u precisely what he doesn’t like ur clothing otherwise he’s just jealous because u look good in what u wear

Fck no he doesn’t tell me what to do when to do it or how to do it and if he ever tried :thinking: Nek minit :facepunch: Lol :rofl:

Keep putting your foot down. And don’t let him tell you what to wear. He should trust you to be loyal to him, no matter what you wear. My hubby is protective and he doesn’t even care what I wear because he’ll let it known that I’m his wife if others try to look. Your husband is to controlling and you let him know that you’re not going to tolerate it anymore

Hell no… I honestly dont even have words… you should leave, this is such disgusting behavior, and by staying your just enabling it…

I would go slap on a g string bikini just to purposely piss him the fuck off then laugh at his ass when he starts whining like a baby

I would leave now before he hurts you. Already the mental and verbal abuse is unhealthy.

Grosses me out when someone thinks that they can control an adult, decide what they can or can’t do. Girl, you are a grown ass woman. Don’t let him make decisions for you. Live your life, love yourself and wear that romper :clap: if he can’t support that, then boy bye :wave:

Leave him. Like for real. He doesn’t own you. I don’t let any man control me. And my man knows it. We talk through things and try to find a solution to problems but that’s not something I’d ever give on because he doesn’t own me.

Leave him.

He doesn’t love you, respect you, trust you. He sees you as nothing but a piece of him that he controls. You are not his property to control.

Sometimes as women, we need to step back and take a good look at how your man has become like that. Have we allowed it, encouraged it…We shouldn’t give away all our power to the man we love, just because we love them. Perhaps try taking a step forward in decisions and discussions, even if it’s a small one. Once we start to regain our own power as women, we can begin to feel on an equal level with our men. It’s a partnership after all x

I’ve been in a long term relationship just like that. It never got better for us, and I ended it. My current husband would never ever tell me how to dress and neither would I tell him how. I hope it gets better for you. If the clothes really make you happy…then maybe it will get better as you hold your ground. It’s what is really important to you and what is really worth the fight. Does he control other areas of your life in that way?

My hubs doesn’t and won’t but I’ve also NEVER worn anything revealing or short etc bc I personally don’t like when females do and I think that being too revealing isnt respectful to yourself ,your spouse or others . Plus too revealing leads to lust,I wouldn’t want another woman’s husband lookinv me down making her feel less than etc. I dress nice and how I like. U SHOULD TOO. now if it’s way revealing I could see where he is coming from but u ultimately have given him the control by not addressing it in the beginning and instead follow his demands. That’s going to be hard to unravel at least imo

Be very careful. All of the above is good information but you could be in danger. Mentally and possibly physically if the fight were to get worse. Perhaps try counseling. It’s at least a step towards help for you.

I agree with the fact that this will wear you down. Even the strongest person can be worn down and lose themselves.

This is a tough situation bc he has you doubting yourself.

One of the top regrets people have on their death bed… is living under the expectations of others.

Never let a man tell you what to do

You are in a coercive relationship. Things won’t get better only worse. He is controlling you. Get out while you can.

I ended a relationship after 3.5 years due to this and never felt more free. Then, I had to rebuild my self-image because I didn’t know who I was anymore.
