That’s pretty standard for any abusive relationship. The abuser usually waits until they feel like their partner can’t escape before they become awful.

I’m always waiting for my husband, too. Drives me nuts.

My mom didn’t let me use a calculator as a kid and I’m really glad now. I can do simple calculations much faster than if I had to use a calculator.

Same with French here in Canada. I took French for six years and I still don’t speak it at all, and I actually did really well in my French classes.
