A woman approached us concerning a problem with her husband. Everything seemed to start with little concerns, but it quickly grew into a big storm, and now she’s asking us for assistance on how to express her point of view to her husband. However, our readers believe that the only option is di:vor:ce.
Our reader dropped us a message.
My husband doesn’t let me spend much time in the bathroom. He says “normal” people spend 10-15 minutes in there. If I spend more time than that, he thinks I’m pretending to shower while texting or calling other men. He even stands by the door listening to what I’m doing, and if the sounds seem “suspicious” to him, he starts banging on the door, asking what’s going on.
Once, after a stressful day at work, I took about half an hour to shower and relax. My husband shouted, “What’s taking you so long?” I said I was almost done. He didn’t believe me. He tried to take the door off and started picking the lock.
I couldn’t believe what was happening next – he stormed into the bathroom holding his phone and recording me. Thankfully, I was already dressed. He said he wanted to catch me ch3ating and use the video as proof. I can’t take this anymore! How do I explain to him that what he’s doing is not normal?
Our readers noticed alarming signs in such behavior.
