Archive for Controlling relationships

My bf and I have known each other 1.5 years and have been dating for 1 year. We already graduated from college and living together. We have always been very happy and there is nothing wrong with our relationship. We both understand each other and try to help one another improve ourselves for the better.

His mother, keep making problems for us. She tells us that we have problems that dont have. What I feel is that she is lonely (divorce, empty nesting) and is either jealous or afraid that she’s loosing influences on her son.

I know its normal for mom to be worry, but she is being psychotic and even tell him to do things that is bad for him. Like she told him that he doesnt need to build his credit history just because I told him that a credit history is important. Everything good he does that is influence by me, like going to graduate school (he wants to also) she is against.

What should I do?? He has always been the perfect son that never rebel.

We are 22+ and already graduated from college and mature.

If you agree why it is happening ? I am referring to all relationships. Kids and parents , Husband and wife , you and your live in partner, everywhere you would observe that the individuals involved are asking for more space. Kids want more freedom from parents, wives want their hubbys to leave them on their own for more time. Why this is happening ? And to what extent it is healthy for the relationship ?

okay i know theres different types of abuse and i know my moms boyfriend is a controller but i swear hes more like a stalker. when ever shes at home on her day off or in the car he’ll call her every 5 minutes to talk to her, but if shes like “hunny im drivin ill call u bak when i stopped” he calls her every minute and starts an argument with her. also she was stupid enough to have us be put on his cell phone plan and everytime he gets mad at her he will shut all our phones off when i did nothing wrong, turning off the phones and turning them bak off cost money and he makes my mom pay the fees of them being turned off and back on. what should i do? hes controlling our lives!!!!!!

Greetings to all! I’m a happily committed young hispanic man involved in an interracial relationship with my african-american fiancee. We have been dating for about six months now & have decided to get engaged with marriage to follow in the near future. We are deeply in love, committed to each other, very compatible, communicate effectively, hardley ever disagree or argue, etc. Lately I have noticed that she has become a bit more ‘demanding’ of me. We pay our own bills & have separate finances as of now. I’m a little passive by nature & she is a little aggressive & has a little attitude by nature. However, I pay for everything we do. It could be the movies, dinner, vacation, etc. I foot the bill & have no problem doing so since I will be the man of the household. Now, she has hinted around to the notion that I provide her with a monthly allowance for gas, hair, & nails (she is a physician & I am a nurse). She was raised very properly growing up & had a very comfortable upbringing & lifestyle (high school, college, sorority, med school, etc ). I had great parents & a decent upbringing & was raised to absolutely provide for & take care of the wife & family & to somewhat ‘cater to’ or ‘pamper’ the wife. My parents instilled in me that this was part of being a man & was part of the inherent responsibilities of a man in a relationship.
So are these mannerisms to be expected as we progress throughout this relationship? Did my fiancee get some of these traits/characteristics (needs, wants, & demands) whether good or bad from her mother? Her mom is educated, very proper, very kempt, & somewhat ‘high maintenance’. Also, my fiancee is financially supporting half of her family due to the fact that she is a physician, has a high income, its expected of her, & that she chooses to do so & will continue to do so indefinately. So what gives? I do love & cherish her sincerely & will do anything & everything to make her happy. I admit I have a hard time telling her ‘no’! Thanks for any great & insightful advice on this situation!

Me and my g/f have been together for a long time now. (a year and almost 5 months) and her ex friends are saying im controlling. So i contronted them and we got into it big time. Then my girl has been talking to the school counselor because all her ex friends are in her class. She dont like being in class with them and putting up with them so she would go talk to the counselor. Then the next day after she talks to the counselor she tells me that the counselor agrees with the ex friends. The counselor thinks im fucking controlling over my girl. In my opinion and in many of my friends opinions im NOT controlling. But how do I truly know? Because I really dont think I am. But if I was I would like to change because thats not the person I’d want to be. I dont think controlling people is right. . . Thanks for any opinions or suggestions!

My new husband has always thrown that term at me, but now is getting really nasty about it, and I really honestly don’t see myself acting that way. Give me your examples of a control freak in a relationship, if I see myself in there I’ll try to fix it. :)
