[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How does he try to control your purse?! That’s hilarious (and awful)! My DH has very mild tendencies like this, so I’ve started saying “I’m a 45-year-old woman. I can make this decision for myself!” and “I’m a 45-year-old woman. I think I can handle putting down a magazine” or whatever. You can also just say, “I’m good,” which shows you heard him but aren’t going to listen to him. At some point you might make a joke about FIL getting a job so he gets paid to boss people around. Otherwise, just ignore him like he didn’t speak and do your thing your way. [/quote] If we’re about to go out the door to a vacation outing, and I hang it on the back of a chair as I put sunscreen on the kids or something, he’ll walk it back to the bedroom and say, “You’re going to lose this if you leave it lying about.” And I’m like…I know exactly where I left it, we’re about to leave. Anyway, I do say, “I’m good,” and DH does stick up for me, but I think DH is going to have to sit him down and tell him to please stop. And if it doesn’t, I think we’re going to leave early.[/quote]
