How To Deal With A Controlling Husband

Most women across the world are into abusive relationships. While a relationship is built on mutual trust and respect, a husband trying to control the life of his wife often leads to an unhealthy relationship. A controlling husband makes the life of his wife wretched and miserable. He usually exerts his control through various ways, such as continuous phone calling, verbal abuse, constant arguments and so on. If these symptoms are left unchecked, the verbal abuse can lead to physical abuse and domestic violence as well. If you are one of those wives whose husbands are control freaks, read on further to find some ways to make him realize that you are not comfortable with such behavior. Go through and know the tips for dealing with a controlling husband.

 

 

Communicate openly with your husband and let him know what you are doing and with whom you are. Hiding about your whereabouts will make him suspicious, adding to his feeling of insecurity. As a result, your husband will tend to lose trust on you, which would worsen the matters further, thereby risking your marriage. Communication is the key to all problems. Hence, communicate clearly and let your husband know about any particular behavior of his that you do not like.

 

Be careful while pointing out any behavior of your husband and be prepared to give justifications for the same. For once you take an unexplainable behavior; your husband will continuously repeat it and try to bully you. If you made a comment, be firm and stand for your thoughts and belief. Remember, you as a wife, do not have to agree on everything. However, you should learn as to how to disagree in the right way.

 

Never take in physical/mental/verbal abuse from your husband. This will only portray your sign of weakness towards him. Let your husband know that you are his better half and equal half as well and that marriage does not give him the right to hurt you physically/mentally/verbally. All decisions should be taken by both of you as a couple and not solely by your husband. Your husband should know how to respect you and vice versa to carry forward your marital relationship.

 

If conditions are out of your control, it is best to seek out family and friends for help. Enquire from his family and friends about his past life and experiences. There is a good possibility of your husband facing similar problems in his early life. You can also consult a therapist to sort out the psychological problems faced by both of you as a couple.

 

If your controlling husband is both emotionally and physically abusive, it is best to walk out of the marriage. Though it would be emotionally charging and difficult for you, especially when you are head-over-heels in love with him, getting a divorce is the only way to solve out such as a scenario. If you have finally decided to separate from your husband, make sure that you are financially independent, so that you do not have face any difficulties after such a decision.
