I do like the idea of calling types of controlling behavior 'abusive'...
although that same word is also used to describe very real and very serious physical and sexual abuse....

The way it usually works with these *******s is that they are two different people before and after the marriage. They keep their behavior in line when they are dating and turn into Mr. Hyde after the marriage. So, it's possible she didn't know ahead of time. There are also women that think they can "fix" defective men, so there's that.
Nonetheless, it's the husband's behavior that was a problem.
If you think it's some sort of novel idea to describe bad behavior as abusive if it doesn't involve physical or sexual abuse... Well, let's just say that emotional abuse is probably more common and no less damaging in the long run. I would wager that almost all women deal with some form of emotional abuse in their lives. Not cool...
Frankly, I'm surprised at some of the opinions expressed here.
