[quote=Anonymous]I realized at some point in my marriage that I married my controlling mom. It's 100% anxiety driver on my mom's and my DH's part. Stress goes up, so does controlling behavior. It's all "harmless" but it's annoying as hell. On one hand it's bad that my history attracted me to someone with a certain degree of pathology, but I'm also really good at handling it because of my experience with my mom. I just DO NOT ENGAGE with the silly and sometimes relentless nitpicking. I go into another room, I ignore, etc. If you indulge it, IT WILL GET WORSE. That's how anxiety works. They will feel better for a little while that they "kept control" and then get addicted to that feeling. All of that said, I love my DH very much, he is very nurturing, caring, and loving. Sometimes it just goes too far and he gets annoying with believing that he has to micromanage how I do every little thing around the house etc. Eh? C'est la vie. [/quote]
