US EditionDear Abby: Where in the world does my husband get off trying to order me around?
- Years into their marriage, the wife says she has had `Enough!` after decades of shared friendships and controlling rules from her husband over private talks.
- Her husband enforces specific conversational rules, forbidding private talks without prior confirmation, and questions whether husbands attended visits with the wives in their couples group.
- The wife emphasizes her regard for him while an adviser frames his behaviour as insecurity-driven, saying she never gave him cause for suspicion and still loves him, while her husband is honest but insecure.
- Family conflict now includes a legal threat from the wife's mother over visitation rights, as her mother recently wants to take her to court to see the couple's daughter, but the wife says visitation is not in her daughter's best interest.
- Counseling for the wife alone might help her establish boundaries and decide next steps, while a family-law lawyer can advise on Ohio's specific legal limits on grandparents' rights.
