[quote=Anonymous]Maybe step-father wants to scuttle the boy's success so he doesn't overachieve his own bio daughters? [quote=Anonymous] "Regardless of other things" is what this all turns on. Sure, in a perfect marriage/perfect world, a DH that withhold $200 is a controlling jerk. [b] But what if DH has been asking OP to go back to work for 5 years, and OP has refused?[/b] [/quote] Controlling men like this do not want their DW to work, they get off on maintaining household power and it inflates their ego to be the sole breadwinner of the house. The man is probably giving the college boy a hard time because it's the last way to keep him under his thumb. Health insurance is free, phone bill is $50? So the only real power the step-father has over the college boy is withholding a modest allowance. That or as I said above, he's trying to kneecap the boy's success.[/quote]
