I have been married to my husband since I was 29.
I am now 60 so it has been thirty years.
He has always been very controlling and when I was
younger it didn’t bother me because he made most of
the decisions. Now that I am older I have had about
enough of him telling me what to do and putting me down
because HE isn’t making the $ he used to. Now it is MY
fault we are broke because I didn’t work. He didn’t want
me working. I went out and am getting my CDL to drive
a school bus and it has taken some days of schooling
to learn it all. Since this has happened he puts me down
when talking to me and is telling me I have nothing to
contribute to the farm now so I guess I am useless. Both
our sons left the farm because they couldn’t get along with
their dad and his “my way is the only way” attitude. Now
I guess he feels like everyone has abandoned him but it
is his own fault. How does a 60 year old get on with her life?
Or should I let this just go right over my head? If we get divorced
we sell the farm and I think that is what is keeping us together.
I really need some input from you all. Thanks for reading.
