To think I need to stop seeing him (red flags in bed)?

Ive been seeing a guy for a few weeks and we recently slept together.

Twice during sex his mood has changed quite rapidly. The first time I moved out of a position because we'd been at a long, long time and I needed a break (and he confronted me about 'why would you do that when I'm just about to cum?'). Has facial expression changed to one of almost anger. I also had no idea he was close.

The second time, I asked him to move into a position which we'd really enjoyed previously & he refused. He said it had been a 'fluke' that he had managed it before due to the odd angle and gave me an ultimatum of what we could do instead. He then pressed me to decide quickly. I was so taken aback I just stared at him unmoving and he actually left the room for a few minutes. Afterwards he apologised & we went back to it without issues later but it is in my mind now.

I would say that most of our time in and out of bed is some of the best times I've had. But that other small percentage of the time borders on scary due to the sudden mood change. AIBU?

Run

FlamesEmbersAshes · 01/10/2021 18:12

Run far. Run fast.

LolaButt · 01/10/2021 18:14

Say bye bye to this man. Not ok on any level to treat you like that.

Orgasmagorical · 01/10/2021 18:15

Don't ignore your instinct.

Maria53 · 01/10/2021 18:15

It's really crap as things had been going so well.

The sex itself is outstanding but I'm not willing to be treated like this. I explained I feel vulnerable in bed and felt attacked. He had already apologised but not sure it's enough tbh.

That's really scary. I wouldn't see him again.

LibrariesGiveUsPower45321 · 01/10/2021 18:16

Run

sittingonacornflake · 01/10/2021 18:17

Yep that's frightening.

ViperAtTheGatesOfDawn · 01/10/2021 18:17

Red flags are there for a reason, trust them Flowers

YukoandHiro · 01/10/2021 18:18

Don't see him again. He genuinely sounds dangerous. Either way he's absolutely not kind and sharing in bed - don't waste your time on that

HJ44 · 01/10/2021 18:18

Frightens me just reading it. Not good. It's early days, he should be on his very best behaviour....imagine a year on once he's got his feet under the table.

DollyDinkle · 01/10/2021 18:19

Goodness, run as fast as you can

immersivereader · 01/10/2021 18:20

Sounds mad

That way ⏯️⏯️⏯️⏯️⏯️⏯️⏯️

Passmeamenuatthetottenham · 01/10/2021 18:21

Urgh, run away.

That second scenario in particular, with that level of 'negotiation' in the middle of sex, is very weird and would freak me out tbh.

greendiva · 01/10/2021 18:21

Yup, don't ignore it, especially if he won't talk about it. End it.

Inthesameboatatmo · 01/10/2021 18:21

Absolutely disgusting entitled behaviour from him when you are feeling vulnerable and exposed.
Run run as fast as you can the hills are that way >>>>>>

Maria53 · 01/10/2021 18:21

@YukoandHiro it was pretty shocking. He said he doesn't usually have disagreements in bed but I find that hard to believe if this is his attitude.

I've only just started dating again and promised myself I wouldn't ignore red flags. I really liked him too.

Disinvest pronto!

Beamur · 01/10/2021 18:23

I would listen to your instincts.

WishingYouAMerryChristmasToo · 01/10/2021 18:23

Coercive controlling. Don't just run get in the bloody car. Block and move on.

FFS Sex is supposed to be enjoyable with someone you trust that respects you.

HebalGerbil · 01/10/2021 18:23

Okay
Erm...
That is a big fat nope in my book.

My H ONCE grabbed my ankles and positioned me and held me where e wanted me.

Never did it again because I kicked him in the face.

I am not a fucking wheelbarrow you own.

YukoandHiro · 01/10/2021 18:24

OP the worst abusers tend to be the most charming. Please listen to your instincts. You feel uncomfortable for a reason. Don't let him talk you round. This week of all weeks, just remember to put yourself and your safety and comfort above all other things. To behave like this at any time is awful but so early into a relationship suggests danger lies very close below the surface.

WishingYouAMerryChristmasToo · 01/10/2021 18:24

You've only know him a few weeks -you don't know him at all apart from the fact he is an abuser-bloody hell!

Passmeamenuatthetottenham · 01/10/2021 18:26

it was pretty shocking. He said he doesn't usually have disagreements in bed but I find that hard to believe if this is his attitude.

No one should be having 'disagreements' in bed - if one person isn't enjoying what is going on, then it should stop, that's it.

And if this is just after a few times of having sex...

HolyShort · 01/10/2021 18:27

Listen to your gut. Please!
