Has he always been like this Diddy? Just wondered if there could be something wrong. If he has, how on earth have you managed to put up with it? He's not likely to change so I suppose just go on doing what you do. Put the TV on again when he's gone to bed. Do things your way when he's not there. Try to avoid rows and upsetting yourself. You must have used many strategies to do what you want to do, but it does sound pretty miserable. Not much help, I know.

I dont want sympathy, but advice please. My OH is a complete control freak, and its getting worse, its got to the point such as ths evening, again, when he was going to bed and I was busy doing something else, we have open plan so I was in the same place, he asked if the TV was to stay on to which I replied yes as I havent finishes looking, it doesnt cost anything for it to be on for a while longer, as I pointed out I pay half of the electrcity bill so surely I can have it on until I want to turn it off. Most evenings he turns it off, then I have to turn it on again in on order to watch something when he has gone to bed, this is so childish, and really getting me down, he rows if I mention anything he doesnt approve of, what can I do, if anything, to improve the situation, I feel like a School child most days, and I am 75 for goodness sake! Sorry to rant.
