Controlling Spouse


Recommended Posts

I've been married to my wife for 20 years. During the past 8 or 9 years, I've noticed that she has been forcing more of her control over the family as time goes by. She needs to be the one deciding everything all the time. We used to fight over this, but I've backed down because of the kids. If I don't let her have her way, she makes everyone in the house miserable.

 

I have of course "No common sense" as she would put it.

 

Anyways, I've noticed my 11 year old is starting to act the same way towards me. I've talked to my son, and he feels that this is normal, and that's how his wife is going to treat him when he's an adult.

 

I've tries to talk to her about this, but she says things like " How can you hurt me like this", or " Can't you see that I'm exhausted, and I need to get this done now".

 

We both have a good jobs, and a nice home. The kids have everything they needs (friends, the latest gagets, sports, music lessons, etc).

 

Is it suppose to be like this?
