Any chance your hubby would go to alanon? It sounds like he has some control issues and may even be upset that you have found a solution and he didn't provide it. After all he's the one who loves you most is he not?
Something I noticed when I got sober was that my father, who had been compelled to manage my affairs, had trouble handing the reigns back. He was used to looking after my stuff, not to mention my mother who was chronic. Managing our lives was a way of life for him.
I hope you can find a way around this. It is really sad to see a husband standing between his wife and recovery. I have seen it before.
