Hi

I’ve met this new guy and there’s a couple of things I want to talk about really that I’m not sure how to deal with

The first thing is that I bought him a gift for Christmas and he told me he didn’t like the gift so I bought him another and he didn’t want that either :/

I sometimes don’t send kisses at the end of a text and he said it’s weird that I don’t send them sometimes and that it’s getting annoying.

I sent him a song that I sang because I wanted him his opinion on it and he’s now telling me it wasn’t appropriate to send him the song ‘I wanna run to you’ he said it’s going a bit fast but it’s only a song?

Last night I called him by his name and he said that that’s too formal and I should be calling him babe or baby :/

He’s making me feel like I can’t do anything right and it’s really upsetting me. What would you guys do about this?

Thank you
Rebecca

That is shocking behaviour. I could literally buy my OH an apple and he would be so grateful. He is pushing the boundaries and seeing what he can get away with. Trying to see how weak you are. How long have you been seeing each other?
He should praise your confidence in sending him a song you wrote. Because that's special and he should realise that.
Calling someone babe or baby comes naturally with growing affection, it cant be forced. Honestly I dont know you but you deserve better and to feel shower special when dating. I've been with my current partner 3 years and when I met him I was so shocked how nice and kind he was compared to all the rest. Your gut feeling is strong

I’ve been with like like a month. Although I’ve ended it just now and he’s telling me to block him :/ if he wants to block me just block me lol

He's even controlling how you end the relationship!
I wish I new back when I met my ex what I know now. Well done for nipping it in the bud op. Block delete and move on.

Good work OP, get him blocked and deleted and congratulate yourself on your self preservation.

Maybe they were obvious to you now and you were prepared to end it quickly because you've recognise them. That's a good thing and you should be pleased with yourself.

I'd say don't let this put you off, but seek out active signs of a good man, rather than just be alert to the red flags.
Does he make you feel good about yourself, does he respect your wishes, does he listen to what you say, does he go a bit out of his way to be with you? Is he honest in a kind way?

Total control freak who will wear you down bit by bit if you let him. Get rid now, run as far and as fast as you can from this abusive man.

BernardoTeashop · 29/12/2019 12:26

Well done! Don’t bother with any man unless he makes you feel good and treats you well. Otherwise you are much better on your own

Beccacats1991 · 29/12/2019 16:10

Thank you for all your lovely replies :) happy new year everybody xx

Well done! STOP dating until you do some major work on your self-esteem and move work on spotting abusers. You're still unable to recognise abusive behaviour.
