  Do joking comments about ones weight or intelligence qualify for the list of controlling husbands? What about alienating someone emotionally? If one lies or withholds info. pertinent to the relationship, is that on the list? What about not acknowledging spouses wishes or hopes for life matters that affect both partners? What if one spouse is constantly in control of money? I.E. Puts spouse on budget. What about not following through on promises? Does yessing someone to death about something important to the other, and then not doing anything about it qualify? What about being all talk and no action? What about negating the other's feelings? Or leaving spouse alone for long periods of time, and then acting annoyed when spouse wants to communicate? What about totally ignoring one's spouse over and over again in multiple ways? What about screaming and barking commands at one's spouse? What if husband, even in the middle of an argument screams at his wife to Shut Up! And then, calls her a Psychotic b---- ! What about the husband who wont tolerate, or show any positive attention to his wife's beloved pet? Is that part of the personality of a controlling husband,or is it just a blatant show of contempt for his wife, who - he claims - is the most important person in his life? What about husband who must have everything his way, even though he pretends to be tolerant and fair. What about totally relating everything in life to himself. What about those who talk a good game? Isn't it easier to feign love and adoration, than to actually mean it, and show it? A lie is also humiliating to one's spouse. Is that a characteristic of a controlling husband. Sometimes it's easier not to divulge info. That way, husband can do what only he thinks should be done with out any consideration or thought for his wife.

  Does a husband who never compliments his wife, or encourage or praise her postive attributes, or ackowlege her abilities or talents, fit in to the contolling person mode?
