He takes credit for my ideas, he insinuates himself into my work life, he appropriates my friends: What's going on?
  • Shorter Laurel...

    LW, it's all in your head and totally your fault. Ignore all that therapy talk and the experiences of the (surprising) number of posters who've dealt with this kind of person and know the trouble signs. And ignore your instincts and your husband's blatant disrespect--you're just a paranoid idiot. You should feel like crap--that's what marriage is about, sacrifice. Most likely if you gave up your life completely and devoted yourself to your husband, you would be a better wifey and he wouldn't have to treat you this way. Remember, it's all about staying married no matter _what_, because the minute you lose your husband, you are an irresponsible non-person...or even worse, you are all allooonnnnee.... :P
