“Hello #Admin

I knew he was controlling when he suggested to order food for me on our first date. My boyfriend and I have been together for about six months now and it’s safe to say that he is a control freak. For our first date, he took me to a very fancy restaurant, it was beautiful, he reserved a table for two with beautiful roses in a vase on the table with beautifully scented candles, it was amazing. He pulled my chair and allowed me to sit. He ordered white wine even though he knew I liked red, I didn’t think much of it so I tried to enjoy it. We talked and talked until it was time to order the food.

Before I could choose, he suggested something and didn’t even let me agree to it first before ordering, he just did. I was conflicted but I just hoped and prayed it would be good. For a second, I thought he wanted me to try out this amazing meal. It was really good at the end of it all.

Weeks into our relationship, he started showing signs of being controlling, he asked me to move in with him but I said it was too soon, he didn’t really like it. I brushed it off. He started trying to control everything about me. He started with getting me new clothes, clothes I would never wear. One time, he bought me a dress and heels and asked me to wear it out to dinner, I didn’t like it, it was like my grandma went shopping for me. Every time we went out to eat, he would want to order for me, it was cute at first but I started getting tired of it.

He was trying to control what I eat, wear, which friends I should and shouldn’t entertain. He’s been trying to tell me how to wear makeup, which hairstyle looks good on me, what lipstick brand I should be wearing etc, he tries to control me and thinks it’s okay because he’s providing for me. It’s either he shops for me or we go together and when we do, he tells me which clothes are appropriate.

He always wants things to be done his way and never mine. I feel suffocated in this relationship, I literally have to report my every move. I’m tired, I love him but this is too much. How do I deal with this?”
