He does sound controlling. My RAH oscillates between controlling Codie behavior and passive aggressive behavior. The other half of the time he's really pleasant to be around.
We're still interviewing potential therapist to find a good fit - I've been told that finding the right marriage therapist is like dating, so we're trying out a few different ones and RAH and I both have major FOO issues so I want someone who will point out when we're acting out FOO stuff on one another. Are you guys very committed to that particular therapist? You could always try out a different one for a few sessions just to see what else is out there.
I agree that running is like free therapy. Yoga works pretty well too. Good luck on your half! I have my next one in two weeks.
