      I’m new to this forum and have briefly written on the Disability page about my long standing illnesses and my experiences I have been through with 3relationships which includes this one.

      My husband I have been married to for  (detail removed by moderator) but lived together (detail removed by moderator) is making me feel quite guilty at the moment as he is “being nice.I am suspicious.

      However one of the comments he is saying if I conform to his ways ,didn’t bring up the past all the time ie problems with finances and not wanting to getting into more debt and asking if he had paid a bill then things would be ok and he would not need to go to counselling.

      He is listening into conversations I have with people on the telephone and if my carers come to help me he either follows them to my room chatting into the conversation so he can get “attention” or he will stand in doorways listening to what we are talking about. After I have had a shower he will leave a door open so he can hear conversations I’m having .
      He has also told me not to talk to them.

      As I can only get out of the house with him or my carers I do feel suffocated.

      Am I doing anything wrong like he says.

      He sounds very controlling. You are entitled to privcy. Even from your husband. Abusers like to isolate us, thats how they can abuse us with no one knowing. Youre doing nothing wrong. Can you email your carer or slip them a note asking them to close the door on your husband?

      We have played charades and mimed this . But he still opens the door of sitting room so he can hear what’s happening elsewhere . We do however keep shutting the bedroom door on him after my shower.
      During the shower I try to talk to my carers or wait once a week and tell them if anything has happened.
