Dear Suze, I married my high school sweetheart. Being shy and passive, I was always attracted to his take-charge attitude. He controls the finances, chooses the restaurants, the toilet paper brand, everything. During COVID, when we both worked at home, I started a diary during brief minutes of privacy about how I felt I was his possession and boxed-in. I’m returning to the office in March, and he expects me to not make friends until he approves them, and under no circumstances to think about socializing after work. I’m no longer that 18 year-old who’s afraid of her shadow. I want to be a butterfly.
Dear Chrysalis, Spread your wings, and learn to fly. Have you outgrown your controlling husband? Within the marriage or any new romance, you must learn to set boundaries in order to claim your self-worth, or the next guy will suck you into their orbit too. Now, you must stand on your own and conquer your world. Then, love a worthy man who will support your metamorphosis and bring balance to your life. -SQ
