My o.h.'s father is a control freak too, thinks himself patriarch and has told o.h. he will be head of the family when father goes! As if his sisters will care, they only know where he is when they want something. O.h. did say a while back he wasn't impressed with the way his son treated his girlfriend and I hope she can cope or get him to change, he has changed a bit for the better since they met, but as they are now buying a house together, I hope things are ok and don't blow up a few years on when maybe there are children to consider too.
I know I am quite bossy, as a Leo, and suspect my ocd is a by product of the loss of control when doing up my house went badly wrong due to dodgy plumber.
I do know I would be much happier without o.h. tho, and as someone said, would be able to stop having to tread on eggshells and be myself again, even if I had to live in poverty, which is quite likely being on a pension. I know I deserve a better life than being his housekeeper, secretary, dogsbody without any of the pleasures of a good relationship.
