DH has always been a bit of a control freak but recently I've been getting pretty frustrated by the way he talks to me. I basically can't seem to do anything without it being commented on. My driving, how I talk to my friends (he's actually told me to communicate things differently on text before - these have been my best friends for years!) my showering (I drip too much water on the floor) etc etc etc. Basically every day I know I'll be criticised for SOMETHING. At first I thought I was being sensitive - now i just want to leave him. I'm over it. So over it.
It's also his temper. He's got one of those tempers that doesn't really flare up often, in fact he's totally calm, but then when it does, it always seems to be at me, and in public - or in front of family. I always seem to
Manage to do something to annoy him when we are out! I've told him several times that I won't take it and now it's got to the point where before a gathering - a wedding etc - I have to tell him in the car beforehand to watch it. Is that right? It feels ridiculous that I would have to do that - but I always end up feeling humiliated in front of others in some way.
Am I overreacting? Is this normal?
