Abstract
What you are experiencing with your husband is a manifestation of what is termed "coercive control." This control usually follows a pattern, as you have described. Victims may take time to realise they are actually being controlled. It often involves gaslighting, which consists of comments or actions that cause victims to question their own reality.
