I work with a girl whose husband has always been a loving father; but, he's a controlling,whiney, miserably b*st*rd to her. He calls her at work to make sure she's really there, told her she can't talk to any men while at work (like she can help that), won't let her talk to former co-workers, he hates her family & complains about the time her parents spend with their children & he has hit her in the past (even fracturing her skull). We can thank him for the nearly ruined Christmas party last year (he got drunk...it happens alot) when he told our BIG boss (the company owner) that he didn't care to have him monopolize HIS wife...she has to interact with the boss at work but not while out with her husband!

This co-worker got brave a year ago & walked out after a particularly bad fight & called the police...only to go back to him when he promised to behave. He's been told by both of us that even one bruise is seen on her...we'll turn him in. They have two little girls. We are currently supportive however I am wary about him; it's been a very long time since we've been in his face & he's now home from work for an extended time & he's starting to act up.

These types of men are DANGEROUS. They don't change...they can't because they rationalize that you are their PROPERTY. Please...please...please...stick to your guns & make changes. I wish that she would. I'd hate to have to go to a funeral or hear about yours.
