Abusive Relationships - control


Expert: Francis Hosein - 2/13/2008

Question
MY husband wants and expects that I express my thoughts and feelings a certain way. If I don't he really does get upset. He has low tolerance and when he loses his temper yells and carries on. Sometimes he then will not talk to me for days.

Is this controlling behavior? Can this change?

Answer
Hi Natalie, yes it is controlling behavior, and it can get better if you do not get help or break out of this cycle.

When your husband stop talking give him the space, leave him alone to work it out, some men needs time to work out their problems.

The more you give in to his way you help to reinforce this behavior.

Do not fight with him but do not stay their when he wants to argue, walk away and let him know that you will not accept to be treated this way, and you will come back and have a good discussion when he stops speaking to you this way.

Yes this can change by you choosing to stop going along with him and choosing to act differently.
