[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree some of this is irritating but I clicked on the link because I’ve often felt like your husband.  My husband is very controlling about things like lights being on—will turn them off when I’ve left the room for a couple of minutes so I have to walk back into a dark room, or gets irritatedwhen I leave the door open for a minute while I’m finding my keys in my purse to lock the door, etc.

My advice would be to really question which of these things really interfere with your own ability to live in your house, and which you might actually be able to change, and then focus just on those but raise them in holistic way and not in a way that feels like you are constantly nitpicking.

This. Some of this you need to let go OP. You are causing your dh to feel like he can't live in his own house.

I grew up in a house like this and felt like I was being controlled nonstop- I am female and my dad was the controlling one. Even as an adult he would go around turning every light off until the time I ran into a wall in the dark face first while I was visiting. Whoops, maybe going behind people and turning off lol the freaking lights in the dark is not a good idea.  And now I am fine with leaving every light on in my house as long as either of us want to.

We have led bulbs now people, loosen up.

Pick a couple things: like floss or trash being thrown down and not picked up and ask that those be picked up. Let go of everything else: use led bulbs and put water savers on all the facets he uses. Done. [/quote]
