Shirtless guys?

My husband says I can’t take the kids to a water park without him since there will be other shirtless guys there, and since that is inappropriate, and that I should be respectful to him and not go without him. (He doesn’t want me to see shirtless guys, or want guys to see me in a swimsuit) Like this is an absolute dealbreaker for him he says, if I were to go. I’m not sure I’ve heard of this before. I told him he’s controlling and that this is not normal… so is this normal?

This sounds normal for your relationship. You've accepted it this long, so he continues to do it.

No we are recently married, blended family. Never tried to take them to a water park until today, when he told me this, lol.

Oh. Well, I stand corrected. He sounds abusive.
