I am being controlled because of our differing politics. I am now unable to make any comment, or express my view on politics at all. It has always been a bit of a joke in the past, DH votes one way, I another, but it's not funny any more when it is leading to arguments. It has now got to the stage, as of last night, that we will not be able to watch the 10 o'clock news together - any view I dare to express is met with such vitriol. I have been told, literally, to "keep your trap shut"! DH has never spoken to me like this before. I feel hurt, lonely and isolated. It's as though any criticism I direct at "his side" is a personal affront to him. I know he is under pressure, desperate for a Retirement which seems further away because of current events, and hating every minute at work, and I am trying to make allowances, but I have pressures too. I am currently Furloghed, but have caring responsibilities (for his Mum!) and am doing everything at home to make his life easier. Is anyone else having these issues? I fear that long-term damage is being done.
