I feel powerless. A few days ago, my husband cornered me in the bathroom and I felt trapped, and told him I felt trapped, and tried to dodge around him to get through the door, and he wouldn't let me, and I think he was trying to make the point that I didn't ask properly to be let out. I didn't think that I should have to ask to be let out of the bathroom.

If I had been able to ask my husband to step aside and let me through, he wouldn't have felt manipulative, as he probably did when I darted back and forth, tried to get around him, and eventually cried. Then he lectured me about crying over it.
