"  DEAR E. JEAN : I&amp;#039;ve been married to the perfect man for six months and am standing on the threshold of divorce. My husband has money for everything\u2014trips all over the world, gambling $50,000 hands in Vegas\u2014but I have to fight him for a facial. He says I&amp;#039;m &amp;quot;stupid&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;out of control&amp;quot; for asking him for money for something like that. My self-esteem is suffering (along with my skin and hair). I have no access to any accounts, no ATM, no cash unless he gives it to me. He tells me &amp;quot;money is tight,&amp;quot; yet our house is on the ocean, and his driver is always outside with his limo. He keeps promising to get me a credit card but always comes up with excuses. I love my husband. What do I do?\u2014In Need of More Than a Facial NEED(Y), SWEETIE : First, puree three tablespoons of honey, two tablespoons of milk, and 10 strawberries; apply mixture to your face, wait 10 minutes, and rinse in cool water. Your skin will be instantly shimmerized. (Just because your husband&amp;#039;s a lying, money-sucking greedhead doesn&amp;#039;t mean you can&amp;#039;t treat yourself to a facial.) Second, now that you feel better, take a look around and ask yourself: Why am I letting this creep control my life? And why do I love him? Hunny, he&amp;#039;s well on his way to becoming an abuser. Get out while you can. And third, start interviewing for jobs and take the first one that&amp;#039;s suitable (you can switch to something better later). Then open a bank account. Mr. Limo Pants will forbid you to work (his kind of sub-cretin power trip): Ignore him. His whole deal stinks. Hire a good divorce attorney and leave.
