It says it all
by: Karen

Your first sentence pretty much says it all. Drugs and alcohol are almost always the contributing factors in this kind of behavior.

I think the age difference is probably an issue as well. He might be insecure in your relationship.

However, if and until your husband is willing to address his issues with drugs and alcohol and get some counseling, things most likely won't change.

Some people are able to change on their own, but most of the time when it's controlling behavior like you're describing, they need help from the outside. And it seems like the older and more set in their ways people get, the more difficult they find it to change.

You may want to think about your own situation very carefully here. People will only treat you the way you accept. If your husband has been treating you this way for a long time without consequences, then he doesn't have any reason to do anything else.

Find a good Christian counselor for him. If he won't go, then you need to go to find out your options and get some help to deal with it.

Blessings,

Karen
