Is he trying to control me?

Question - (21 January 2011) 2 Answers - (Newest, 21 January 2011)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Anytime I do anything besides working on homework, my boyfriend expects me to tell him exactly where I'm going and what I'm doing so that he can go too. He even questioned something simple such as why I changed my facebook picture to a picture of myself instead of the old one of both of us. Is this a normal thing or does it sound like he's trying to be too controlling?

A reader, anonymous, writes (21 January 2011):

This is how one of my friends boyfriends started. She now has to ask "permission" from him to leave the house, cannot see her friends incase she meets another guy, can't even goto the corner shop. He also controls other aspects of her life. She can't leave for work early, she can't wear that, she can't laugh with guys, she can't say hi to a guy shes known for years without his jealously erupting. I could go on all day about what she's "allowed" and not allowed to do.

Oh and she had to delete her Facebook when her best mates bf added her... Cos he's another male. WTF

BE VERY CAREFUL. They slowly isolate you till you end up a complete shadow with no self esteem and not enough confidence to leave.

pepper27 agony auntHi Hunny

Yep this sounds like he is insecure to me, How long have you been seeing him? Its ok to pay attention to your interests and want to be with you hun, It sounds to me if this could be a problem, these kind of things in my experience get worse the longer you are with someone that is of this nature. Your questioning yourself already "Is this normal" If it bothers you now and your gut instincts tell you its not feeling right then always always go with it, Ok TAKE CARE OF YOU LOVE MANDY XXXXX
