In a question-and-answer column, psychologist Allison Keating responds to a reader who says she has been married for 35 years and that her husband has recently become controlling and petulant. The reader reports feeling uneasy and increasingly irritated, and asks what she should do. The outlets present the same submission and the same expert context, indicating that the focus is on relationship dynamics and coping strategies rather than on external events. Keating’s role, as described by both publications, is to provide guidance to readers dealing with personal and interpersonal difficulties. The articles do not provide additional reported details beyond the reader’s description of changed behaviour, the duration of the marriage, and the emotional impact. They frame the content as advice-oriented, centered on how to respond to controlling conduct, manage feelings of discomfort, and consider next steps in a long-term relationship.
