“Gave up control of household and family decisions”

Wife took over control of overseas holiday planning after I spent hours researching, then she cancelled the trip due to stress

What I wish I knew
"Marriage is not about equality, but a quest for power"
If I could tell you one thing
"Communicate and set boundaries to avoid losing control"
