Wife not letting you have a new Carbon Nomad, bought with your own money? Now you can send her to prison

Coercive and controlling behaviour can include the abuser preventing their victim from having friendships or hobbies, refusing them access to money and determining many aspects of their everyday life

:resists temptation to share link with wife:

It doesn’t even need to be your own money according to that quote.

I thought that when I read the article.

Clearly this is trying to address a genuine and serious issue, but I do wonder if the Police aren’t going to be inundated with sulky cyclists/fishingists/horse-ists

The poor individuals stuck in these abusive relationships don’t even recognise the abuse. This law will serve no purpose unfortunately and these bullies will continue with their behaviour 👿

Like the lady from Refuge who is quoted I always thought the law already covered this too.

And agree with ravey davey.
