Dear Counsellor,

My husband and I started a business together and at first, we were doing well. However, he now acts like he is my boss and even shouts at me in front of our employees. I’m an equal partner in this business but the only reason I do not talk back is out of respect. When we go home, he apologises and says he didn’t mean to. But then he keeps doing it and frankly I’m fed up. We had a fight about it and now, he told me he wants to back out because I disrespect him. I need his input but perhaps I’m better off going at this alone. What do I need to consider and will we be able to move past this? I don’t want this to cause a stir in my marriage but I do not like how he handles things and he is not about to change.

Joy
