He is an angry person. I worry about him having a heart attack because he is so extreme on even the tiniest of things. For example, if we don't word things the way he thinks they should be worded or repeat stuff back to him verbatim he has a screaming fit and starts lecturing. There is no such thing as a simple, quick conversation with him. He also, because of his religion (used to me mine as well) believes that the man should be in total control of the home and I should be subservient to him. No freakin way. He doesn't lead with the spirit and this is my life too. I will not spend it feeling or being beneath another human being. Like a popular writing I've seen for years says, "women are taken from adam's rib, ....to be at his side" or something like that. Not in front of or behind, but beside.
I think men and women need to run their homes in partnership, not one spouse above or below the other one. That leads to abuse in many ways.
