[quote=Anonymous]I find my DH somewhat controlling in a "first world problems" kind of way, but he doesn't see it.  For example, he insists that I wear pants to work to be taken seriously.  I kind of think I should get to wear whatever I want, but just do it to avoid no less than 25 questions if I wear a dress.  He insists on knowing what is in every package that comes to the house.  I think mind your own business.  I cannot take items out of the first aid kit without asking first, because of the way he wants it to be kept sanitary to his specifications.  He chooses the TV show we watch after the kids go to bed every night without asking me.  Even if he leaves the dishes stacked up for three days and they smell, I'm not "allowed" to load the dishwasher.  That is a good thing and all, but I feel like he needs to unclench a little.

In other words, I have to consult him on every little detail.  He would say he is being helpful and that this is normal; I disagree.  In your marriage, how much autonomy do you have in your daily life?  What sorts of things require consultation with your spouse?
