He is abusing you mentally and emotionally.


Technically the only way to save a marriage like this is if he actually wants to change and help himself. I would recommend marriage counseling but if he isn't willing to put his share into it then I'm going to have to say maybe it's time to just part ways. Continuing to stay married to man who controls you life is only going to do nothing for you but cause you misery in the long run. Nobody is ever entitled to stay in a marriage they are not happy in. Do you really love him? or do you love the thought of being with him? No man has the right to tell a women dress, act or even say for this matter. Seriously, Do you want to continue to pretend you are happy or do you want to move on and perhaps see what else is out there for you?..

You deserve better

This is just my opinion but I think you need to lay down the law. Let him know that you are your own person and that you speak for yourself. You have to be honest with him and let him know how you feel if you want to see any change.
I hope this helped.
