He's treating you like a child. I doubt the dynamics of your relationship are going to change at this point. I'd start over and find someone you are in an equal relationship with, not waste any more time in this one.
That's a pretty Strong recommendation from a stranger on a forum. There is SO MUCH we don't know about this couple. And to run from one man to another...that's really crazy advice.

Says the person who "recommends" " remedies" to everyone (strangers) on the internet.
And you can't bully me into stopping contributing my opinion to this thread by issuing commands and using profanity. Which is the type of controlling behavior we've been talking about, isn't it?
I wonder how he spoke to her during courtship and the engagement period. Was there any hint of a condescending attitude, lack of trust, anything like that?
OP?
Thank you for mentioning this point. It is important to watch how someone treats you during courtship.

I'm not telling people to leave their spouses and find another. I'm suggesting better health for all I discuss on what WORKS to keep us healthier. SO MANY here talk about all their drug side effects and insurance costs and do nothing to work on their own health. And so many DON'T KNOW about the antioxidants I trust and have so much faith in. How many do you know who have taken an alternative for 22 yrs and talk about all their health improvements. Yeah, I know so many love their drugs.
'courtship', that's funny! People haven't used the word 'courtship' frequently since about 1922 or 1895 and also the Victorian Era!
Not the people you know, clearly. But people still do, to refer to a certain stage in the getting-to-know-you process. I'm sure you've seen people use in now and then on the Relationships forum.

She doesn't have to jump into another relationship, but if she wants to share her life with someone she should look elsewhere. Yes it is a strong recommendation because leopards don't change their spots and I think it's pretty clear that this guy is controlling. Instead of wasting 20 years with him, it's best to cut her losses and move on. I think a lot of women waste precious years with men like this. Her choice, of course.

As another poster pointed out, though, it's not so easy for her, with a toddler, and no job, or a new job (?) that pays $12/hr. It would mean a massive upheaval in her life, and there's no guarantee the economics would work out, even if she got a better job. Hmm... it was her mother who said she should divorce? I wonder if her mother would be willing to provide child care.
In any case, I'm sure the thread has given the OP plenty of food for thought, for better or for worse. Unless we hear more from the OP, I'm going to hope that her new job helps to resolve the problem. Once he doesn't have financial excuses to berate her about, and the situation falls back to a dull roar, she may be able to work on whatever negativity remains.
