"The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde" was a novel by Robert Louis Stevenson (the author of Treasure Island) about a respectable doctor, Dr Jekyll who experiments with liberating the evil side of his character by use of a potion he has devised, only to find he cannot control what his evil half, Mr Hyde, then does. Evil triumphs over good if you mess with evil, is what the author is basically saying.
This novel has become a central concept in Western culture of the inner conflict of humanity's sense of good and evil. It has also been noted as "one of the best guidebooks of the Victorian era because of its piercing description of the fundamental dichotomy of the 19th century outward respectability and inward lust" as it had a tendency for social hypocrisy.

Hi, first time I`ve ever answered anything like this but something about what you wrote kind of got to me. First of all please remember that you allways have a choice(nobody owns you)!The thing that get`s me is that you are putting everybodies interests before your own.If your business is doing well then that`s great but it sounds like you need his income to make ends meet.Would you still need that if he wasn`t there(maybe he`s costing you more than he`s worth,both moniteraly and emotionaly)? It sounds to me like you are indeed right about his debt worries.Sometimes men are reluctant to talk about this type of thing with their partners ( biggest mistake ever,we forget that you do actually love us.Male pride bullshit). What might have happened is that ( and I`m only saying MIGHT ) is the reason for the decline in realising that he`s taking the piss is that because of all this he`s given up hope of getting out of his personal dilemma. This is still no excuse to treat you like a scivy (did I spell that right?).However I think you need to ask him some questions because you cannot plan for your personal and business future within your present environment (I own three companies so I should Know). A..Does he love you? B.Does he know you love him and he can tell you anything? C.If the answer to the above two is yes. D.Tell him you love him again.Tell him what you don`t understand about his behavior towards you and your relationship. His Job(salary,outgoings,dependants,debt, prospects (IT is a big word) Please keep calm but don`t shrink away or be intimidated. E If you get a vague answer or a temper tantrem then be strong and tell him he had better come clean. F.If it`s debt, ,job,dependants or whatever (as long as you feel he`s not bullshitting you) then get on the net and get advise. He`ll feel like a weight has been lifted of his shoulders if he has the guts and the dignity to come clean with you.Creditors will allways try to help to come to an arrangement, just don`t let them bully him into a worse situation. After all this ,if he`s still not telling you anything or still taking the piss then you know you will have to take a life decision.Good luck with the business and the relationship. MA.
