There is a lot of talk about coercive control in relationships lately

No doubt it is very prevalent.
An observation of mine this morning.
I am at a baseball game. I have been here for 1/2 an hour now. In that time there are two males standing under a tree talking away.
I notice when the guys walk back to the main viewing area he sits in a portable chair. Then a female comes back and says "Hey, that is my chair".
It appears they are a married couple,. She says "Come on, that is my chair. He does not move and she has to stand behind him.
1/2 an hour later he gets up to have a cigarette under the tree. I notice the lady does not sit in the chair.

Interesting how a tiny moment can give you a glimpse into their lives and we can imagine their entire dynamic at home.

It reminds me of the time my ex brought his drinkipoo to one of my kids baseball games and proceeded to get drunk and belligerent. Embarrassing, but made it that much easier to make decisions.

@Fallflower One can almost imagine her tip toeing around the home. Such a sad situation.

@StygianKohlrabi I'm referring to your initial statement as well as Gus's reply.

What's in the bedroom, let it stay in the bedroom.
@DeWayfarer not sure I understand. that's true about the bedroom but I think these things are telling.

@StygianKohlrabi Not in public.

If it's in public it more of a trust issue. You can't get more public than a baseball game.

Why didn't they both have a chair? Odd

@justanothername Why do you even have to post political stuff on this thread?
I am in Australia so nothing to do with party politics.

@Gusman Republicans have a tendency to have a more traditional view of a woman’s place in the family and in society.
