Agree. But our control system keeps this from happening, too.
In Maine, now even restricting your wife's spending is criminal abuse. Like in 12 other states, they're expanding the definition of domestic violence.
This was already the reality, but now it's criminal statute.
Societal norms keep drifting, and most ppl just can't see it, or worse agree with it, either directly or indirectly by agreeing to a supportive lie.
