OH angry because I want to make friends?!

Downloaded the app mush today because I want to make some friends I really have none since becoming a mum.

Anyhow I started speaking to a girl and she arranged a meet up for two weeks time to go for lunch with another girl as well and the kiddies.

OH has gone mad apparently I'm weird and I don't need any friends. Went out for dinner wouldn't give me my phone back and wouldn't talk to me. Now he's saying do what you want.

Surely I'm not that weird and he's just a psycho?

Wtf! Why can't you make new friends! He sounds like a controlling twat.

Goldenphoenix · 28/02/2019 20:10

Huge red flag here OP. He sounds like a controlling nutjob! Get out now.

Merryoldgoat · 28/02/2019 20:12

What? That’s bizarre...

Jengnr · 28/02/2019 20:13

Won’t give you your phone back?

DorothyZbornak · 28/02/2019 20:13

He won't allow you to have friends and now he has taken your phone off you and refuses to give it back?

OP, that is not normal. You're not a small child who has done something wrong. He can't 'confiscate' your phone.

ememem84 · 28/02/2019 20:14

Why can’t you have any friends?

Oh because he’s a controlling arse. Ltb

GregoryPeckingDuck · 28/02/2019 20:14

Is this a safety concern or does he not want to you have friends? Weird either way.

MothertotheLordsofmisrule · 28/02/2019 20:36

Ok he sounds odd.

TitsAndTomatoes · 28/02/2019 20:39

What the hell?
Controlling bastard alert!

GrandTheftWalrus · 28/02/2019 20:42

I told DP about mush and he was all for me downloading it and hopefully meeting mums.

Big red flag there. And keeping your phone is just shocking.

Sn0tnose · 28/02/2019 20:42

Does he get on well with your family? And how did he get on with your friends when you first got together? Is there a history of trying to isolate you?

FierceMother · 28/02/2019 20:42

😮😮😮 wtf?!
LTB!

SnuggyBuggy · 28/02/2019 20:43

Definitely a red flag OP.

theWarOnPeace · 28/02/2019 20:44

What the hell did I just read??

CouldntThink · 28/02/2019 20:45

Wait, he’s told you you don’t need friends and he took your phone off you? Is he always this much of a controlling twat? Bloody hell.

HoppityFrog3 · 28/02/2019 20:46

OMG what is it with the control-freak men on here today?!

Tel him to fuck off! Hmm

s0mewherebetween · 28/02/2019 20:46

This is a huge red flag OP!
Any decent partner would want you to find friends and a support group, this stinks of control issues/ emotional abuse

TrendyNorthLondonTeen · 28/02/2019 20:48

Let me guess, you don't need friends because you have him and he should be all you need...?

IHateUncleJamie · 28/02/2019 20:49

You’re his partner, not his child. He cannot confiscate your phone. Is he controlling about other things too?

GertrudeCB · 28/02/2019 20:53

He is a nasty bastard.

Bluntness100 · 28/02/2019 20:57

Well yes he's a controlling jealous odd ball.

Get out now whilst you still can.

PinkiOcelot · 28/02/2019 21:00

Wow!! What are you going to do?

Personally, I would continue with making friends and bin him.

CostanzaG · 28/02/2019 21:03

What?!?! He sounds controlling and abusive.

Bananalanacake · 28/02/2019 21:04

Has he always been like this or just since you had a baby. Definitely not acceptable. Mine is always encouraging me to go to groups and make friends, which is normal for a loving partner.

Thequaffle · 28/02/2019 21:14

How horrible! Taking your phone is so weird as is not wanting you to have friends - massively controlling and I don’t think I’m exaggerating if I say emotionally abusive.
I assume this arsehole is allowed to have friends? Angry
