I Feel Trapped by My Controlling HusbandAugust 26, 2014Shara claims that her newlywed husband, Luke, is a “mean, insecure know-it-all” who won’t let her own a cell phone, hold a job or leave the house alone — and also dictates how she should dress and wear her makeup. Luke denies all of Shara’s allegations and claims that she is “no angel” and has a vicious temper. Can this marriage be saved?Controlling Husband?My husband, Luke, is very controlling, Shara says. He manages every move I make. My marriage is definitely a prison. Shara claims that Luke won't let her own cell phone or leave the house alone for more than five minutes. When I was employed, he would come with me to work every day, sit in the lobby and wait for me to get done, she continues. I ended up losing my job. Shara claims Luke even tells her when she is allowed to shower.Shara also claims that Luke is verbally abusive. Luke thinks that he's 'the man.' He's smarter than everyone in the room, she says. He has called me dumb, stupid, lazy, ugly, worthless. Luke has taken my pride, my dignity, my self-worth . I can’t go on in the marriage and fight every day with him.Luke denies all of the allegations. He insists he's only trying to help guide Shara, who he says lacks motivation and street smarts. On a daily basis, I have to remind her, 'It’s cold outside, put some socks and shoes on' — things I shouldn't be telling a 33-year-old woman. He continues, Every time I bring up an issue that needs to be addressed, she takes it as an attack. She feels like I'm being condescending. Luke says they talk about divorce often, adding, I can't get through to her. I can be delicate; I can be abrasive. I've simply run out of ideas.Dr. Phil asks Luke if he used to sit in the lobby at Shara's workplace, and he admits that he did. I had a diabetic coma episode, he explains. I ended up in the hospital. She wanted me to come up to her work so she could keep an eye on me, and she asked her boss if it was OK if I sat in the lobby.That was the one time, Shara replies.It's the insecurities, too. We're leaving out a big part, Luke continues. She thought I was running around seeing other women, so it makes her feel better when I'm in the line of sight.I’m sorry, I’m not going to listen to that lie, Shara says. I allowed that to happen the one time, because of the diabetic coma. The other times, I felt that you came to work with me to monitor everything that I did.Dr Phil 26.8.2014Dr Phil 8.26.2014Dr Phil 2014.8.26Dr Phil 2014.26.8Dr Phil 26/8/2014Dr Phil 8/26/2014Dr Phil 2014/8/26Dr Phil 2014/26/8Dr Phil 26-8-2014Dr Phil 8-26-2014Dr Phil 2014-8-26Dr Phil 2014-26-8Tags: dr phil show,dr phil hd,dr phil show hd,hd shows,hd show,dr phil 720p,dr phil show 720p
