Neither can I. I guess I'm lucky because I've never been truly dependent on my husband (though I came pretty close during those H4 years; that status should be abolished forthwith...). But I simply couldn't stomach this. Though I guess it's easy for me to say - always had my own $$$...

I don't want to make Lady feel bad, but this whole scenario raises some interesting power-balance issues within marriage...

I haven't worked for over 21 years so I am not financially independant. I am very lucky my husband is very easy going and as long as I'm happy, he's happy. He knows that I would never take advantage and abuse his kind nature.

It must be very difficult for you living with someone who is so selfish and domineering. It's easy for me to say I wouldn't stand for it...but I know its not that easy especially when you have children. I was in a relationship years ago and he told me I would just have to put up with his behaviour.....'cos he had me where he wanted me. Wrong....cue for me to pack up and leave....luckily there were no children involved.
