What should I do about my controlling husband?

move the fuck on !! That’s abusive behavior point blank period. And he’s more than likely accusing you because he’s guilty

Usually when a person acts like that its because they are cheating…

Cheaters always accuse

You should leave him, LEAVE him, and LEAVE HIM lol seriously

He has someone else!!! Don’t let him do those mind games on you!!!

By his abusive controlling behavior. Ya want to know how I know. It happened to me. Stop being gullible. I’m sorry to be so harsh, but you have to know all that I’m saying is true. God bless you :pray:

It’s guilt. Usually when they are falsely accusing you they are the ones who are guilty. He’s a narcissist.

Sorry but unless he agrees to couples counselling and getting help you need to leave him. Usually if they are accusing you then they have done something themselves, neither of you are happy and it’s not a great environment for a child to grow up in. He can still be a dad without being your husband

Girl you NEED to leave now ASAP. It will NOT get any better. He doesn’t want to admit he is abusive, controlling and toxic. He told you he doesn’t want help. He is blind to his behavior and doesn’t care about your feelings or your daughter. If you continue to stay in that abusive marriage your daughter is going to think little men like that is normal and it is NOT :-1:. Please leave and seek the help you NEED for yourself and your kid. File for divorce :clap: :clap:

This is how it starts … It’s already affecting your kid so you need to get out for the kids sake. Him not wanting you to get a job is just controlling you to have money to be able to take care of yourself

You need to grow up and move on or I hope cps takes your child. Neglect is NOT OKAY and your better then that it’s hard I totally get it I’ve been there I wish you strength to move on and over come any obstacles that stand in your way.

He sounds like a narcissist. You are not doing anything wrong. Tell him to get help , grow up or it’s over.

In my experienced. He accused you because he tried to hide his flaws… in this case he might be the one who cheats on you.

I know u love him but my best advice to u is to. LEAVE, expecially if u have children involved, this is just the calming of the storm if he gets angry because of stupid crap like who’s on ya fb it’s going to eventually escalate into violence… U said he won’t let u work he gets pissed if u have male friends I bet he gives u a certain time limit to go to the grocery store…get out of the relationship by any means that u can u can get legal help

My 1st husband was like that and he was the one cheating! There is such a better life out therr believe me! My current husband and I have been married 24 yrs and all he asks if we have respect for each other. If he is going to stoo at the store he calls and asks if I need anything and vice versa. Get you another life unless you want to live like this forever…

When you start loving yourself then your eyes will open and the answers will not be a second thought

He left the marital home, so use that to your advance, because all of that control is spousal abuse. By Law, he has to support you and your child, so walk yourself to family court and start your court ordered support.

My granddaughter was with someone like that and he had her suicidal. He had to approve anything she wore, made her throw out clothes and shoes that he didn’t approve of, she couldn’t talk to any friends or family. He physically and mentally abused her. She is still taking medication to deal with all of this and it’s been well over a year and a half. They have a beautiful little girl and my granddaughter is a wonderful mom. Please get out of the situation, protect yourself and your little girl. I know you love him, but you need to love yourself :two_hearts:

I speak from experience and the woman who stayed way too long (10yrs) too long. It will NOT change and if anything it will get WAY worse.
My piece of advice my dear is…
Go and re-read your post as if you are reading it cause your little girl wrote this post as a young woman, would you stand for a man who would treat your daughter this way…would you tell your daughter to stay with a man who is being this way… I would think NOT!!! Look at this with fresh eyes as a parent, not a wife, and you will clearly see that this is toxic !!! Toxic for you and your little girl. Set an example for your daughter, be a role model and be her protector, cause this will affect her in her future life…as well as your future if you stay (cause believe me it can happen over night and you may not have a future ahead of you. ) RUN ,run, run away and be her protector. I wish you well and a clear mind to see what you posted and how bad this is for you and your daughter. :heart::tulip::heart:

He’s either cheating on you or has cheated on you or is doing something behind your back that he wouldn’t want you to do so he has a guilty conscience! Can’t blame it on past relationship trauma if you’ve already been married for 9 years and im sure together even longer than that! As hard as letting go is sometimes, it’s not as hard as staying with someone who is miserable and makes you miserable and then puts in no effort to change it. May be difficult at first but after you truly let go and start living for yourself and your child, I’m positive you will find happiness!

You are already separated so get help and get divorced. He will not change because he doesn’t see what he is doing wrong when that happens there will never be change. He is controlling and emotionally abusive. You need to get you and your child into a safe environment.

Your only two options is leave or deal with the abuse. But I can tell you that 99% of the time if someone is constantly accusing you of cheating, they are the ones cheating. He is abusing you and sadly you are allowing it to happen by staying with him. You may love him but he doesn’t love you. This mental abuse will turn physical and by then it may be too late. Get out while you can.
I want you to ask yourself a question, if your daughter was in a relationship like yours with a man, what would you want her to do? Would you want her to stay in the abusive relationship or get the hell out. Because if you stay, you are showing you child/children that it is acceptable.

You NEED to get out of that marriage NOW! It’s only going to get worse. I guarantee he is cheating on you. I’ve been there except for the not working part. I was the one working and paying for everything. He didn’t want me going anywhere and when I went to the store, or to see my kids, he was calling me to find out when I’d be home. He almost ruined me. Physical, spiritually and financially. After 15 years I had enough and left. GET OUT NOW!!!

Usually if they are accusing you, it’s because they are guilty of something

From experience… he is up to no good… or he is not mentally well…
Either figure out what he’s doing behind YOUR back to make him act this way… or find a way to get him some counseling… this is not ok behave, and you are only teaching your daughter that it is okay for a man to control her and dictate to her…

Don’t stay in the marriage, it’s a horrible experience to your child. She will grow up believing this is normal when it’s not. She will learn that its acceptable to be battered by a man, when its not acceptable. Get a job, find some peace and get a divorce before its too late.

File for child support. If he cannot trust you he either has a guilty conscience or he never healed,but either way it’s not a life to walk on eggshells. If someone loves you and wants to be with you they get to know you enough that your life is an example of how you want to be treated.

I have dealt with stuff like this and it’s crazy making and not worth having in yours and your child’s life.

He may b up to no good. That is customary but not always so. They may have been cheated on before or just a very jealous person. Either way, it will NOT change. Either learn to live with it if you “can’t” leave him and b a good girl and do what he wants, although he’ll just find something else you are doing wrong or leave if you want to be happy. The good times or the time you have been together r not going to outweigh the way this does or will make u feel. Resentment/anger will come calling eventually. But, u gotta do u. Good luck :heart:

I don’t understand how y’all haven’t been together for 3 months and he still has that mental control over u. Gotta get ya backbone mama. Do not let a man-child have control over u like that. Have u out here looking all kinds of crazy. He don’t want to go to counseling because he knows he’s playing u like a fiddle!! U need lots of therapy and a couple good girlfriends… the control we see he has over u is grip tight and he knows exactly what he’s doing and he will keep wiping his shyty shoes all over your life and when he’s done just know he has plan A, B, and C victims he’s already digging his demon claws into. Run and don’t look back. He’s not the guy u want around your baby gurl around father or not. Let alone your other children see all that narcissistic behavior and will think it’s good to deal with it or act like that.
