Jealousy or something more sinister?

I was talking to a very good friend today and the subject got round to our dhs and she told me the following which really shocked me:

She does not allow her dh to have any female friends/spend time with any women unless they are related to him.
Her dh is not allowed to be on facebook.
He cannot watch any films/adverts if she thinks he might fancy the women in them.

Apparently somebody in his family is having a stag weekend soon and she has 'banned' him from going.

The worst bit of all was when she said she has a rule about hot drinks-if one of the office staff where he works offers/makes a drink he cannot take it off them in case their hands touch!! The drink HAS to be placed down and THEN he can pick it up!!!

It sounds funny but it has played on my mind all afternoon that this is not normal behaviour.In every other way she is really nice but I had no idea she was so jealous.

Its not my place to get involved but I wondered if this was more than just jealousy?

It's definitely abuse, but if neither of them are willing to do anything about it, all you can do is mention getting help to her and then back away.

It is a very difficult situation, I didn't realise that level of jealousy was possible.

Charbon-I am ok I just have dcs with quite severe health problems and I don't drive so it is sometimes hard to get out etc but I'm ok (just tired).
