This is a perfect representation of my experience. I'm not saying I'm "great" but I'm capable and it feels like my husband goes out of his way to weigh me down and make me less capable.

Is there a reason you deal with this behavior?

Girl, the only way the average man can change the Grand Canyon is by littering.

Mine too! I was so independent when we met and I know he was intimidated by that and hated that I made more money and had assets. FFW to now and everything is his and in his name. I stay home and care for my mother in law and he has all the power and control. I don’t even know how this happened, but he chipped away at me a little at a time and convinced me that this would benefit the family and I would be happier, that it was just for a short time, etc. and here we are. If I talk about going back to work or furthering my education, he agrees and then when it comes down to it there’s always a reason why it’s not the right time or something. Idk how I let this happen!

I’m glad I married a man who is supportive of me.
