"she says god will strightin it out!"
Generally, Bible god straightens things out by slaughtering people that blindly follow religious leaders. Her excuse for saying "god will eventually straighten things out," means that maybe she realizes that god disapproves, but she doesn't like god's decision right now.

Your problem is not endemic to enlightened JW husbands only, as any man who lets the wife wear the pants and hold a sword over his neck is bound to eventually screw up and get his head lopped off. You need to man yourself up, but how to do this, you will have to figure out for yourself.

I truly hate the idea that waiting on Jehovah is the only option.
Remind them of Jehu. He patiently waited on Jehovah to toss Jezebel out the window. NOT.
Oh, and that Elisha dude was a real patient & kind fella. Waited on Jehovah to settle things. Except if you called him 'BALDY'!

Cold Steel
Cold Steel, what part of Maryland are you from? There is no way I could do anything as a JW nor would I want to. It way beyond that.
I'm from Bethesda, Raven. And I understand where you're coming from, to a point. It's just that I don't know your situation and I don't know if you're a convert or are even an active JW, nor do I know anything about your wife, your relationship with her and so forth. I also don't know how far you'd go to keep your relationship or how far your wife would go after she learned you were hanging out here on this forum.
I have a friend who got married to a very nice (or so I thought) young lady at work a number of years ago. I attended his wedding and went over to his home a few times for dinner. After a few years I was astounded to learn that they were getting a divorce. I later learned that she did everything she could to dominate him. She counted the money in his wallet at the end of each day and logged it. And she packed his lunch and gave him only enough to get a soda and maybe a candy bar. Even so, he built up a slush fund by collecting his change and selling things he had at home. He kept the slush fund at his work place, until his wife dropped by one day while he was out. Nosing around, she found a key in an envelope tucked away in a hanging folder and it just happened to fit the cabinet right over his computer. There she found the bounty of money and, when he finallh actually got into a hot argument with him over it. When he told me his situation, I asked him why he had ever let her get away with that, and he didn't know. He told her immediately that he wanted a divorce.
My point is that many of these things happen because one spouse attempts to exert dominion over the other. Whether this is happening with your relationship I don't know, but you have to work it out one way or another. Please keep us apprised!

Ravens - Sorry to say this but my JW wife left me for no other reason than I'm an 'apostate'(TM) DA'd from the WBT$. It began with the withholding of my 'due'. Then sarcastic remarks. Then she left me and the boys because of the cult mind control.
Mate, don't be surprised if the mental pressure of the WBT$ is too much for her to cope with.
If you want to keep her go easy with the TTATT.
