I am in ministry and having problems with my husband.
I moved away from a big city to a very remote part of the country to be with my husband.
I left family and grown kids, friends, my Job, Life, everything to be with my husband.
We live VERY remote and secluded.
Some towns are 20 min to 1 hour away and I have a small car.
I miss my job, most of the day I just sit around bored and missing my active and interesting life I once had.
I miss seeing people, taking walks Downtown, working and just having Friends.
I am 50 and have always known my life to be like this.
I am stuck in the house all day and feel like a prisoner, it depresses me.
I want to work, but my husband won't let me, because he thinks he will have to do more chores that way.
He won't allow me to go and do things on my own, because he believes that because of his work, we are a target for Satan and that it would put me in harms way on the roads with my little car between the SUVs and trucks.
Everytime I try to talk to him about this problem, he retorts that we go grocery shopping together and drive into town once a month to do things and get things done, but for me it's not enough.
I miss my autonomy and I feel depressed because I am only allowed to so things with him.
For every dollar I spend I have to ask first, even when I have an allowance, he wants to tell me what I should get for it and get's upset when I just want to spend it on something expensive I have been wanting.
He is very loving and sweet, he worships the ground I walk on and I love him dearly, but he is pretty controlling about the things I metioned.
I feel like a muslim woman who is not allowed to have some freedom, because the ministry and Satan get hung over my head any time I ask for some personal freedom.
What do I do??
