Letters to the Editor

It is wrong to suggest that the letter writer has done anything wrong here
For whatever reason, the spouse is (probably unintentionally) behaving in an emotionally abusive manor. Interfering with someones jobs and social relationships is a form of domination and a sign of a need to be in control. If the behavior is unintentional, he may be repeating behavior that he saw in his parents relationship. If it is intentional, he may feel the relationship is threatened by something. Be real careful about selecting a counselor/ therapist. You can get more information about it from books on the subject, and save yourself a lot of money and heartache. If, after months of therapy you are seeing little practical improvement, you'll be right back to where you are and suffered the indignity of revealing your private life to a stranger who might put some of the blame on you. And you'll be out at least $100 in co-payments even with good medical coverage.
