Is this deceit a red flag?

DP and I have been looking at houses to buy together. I live and work in town where DS is at school and I have friends nearby, DP works away from home Mon to Fri, only here weekends. DP wants to live in a village and I have reluctantly been looking at houses he likes but really want to stay in town.
One house he loved but was very rural and I couldn't see myself there during the week while he was away.
I have discovered that he went to the vendor and made an offer, despite the fact that we had agreed it wasn't feasible for me. He says he really wanted the house even though I didn't and he is away most of the time.
The vendor turned him down but if she had accepted he says he would have 'persuaded' me I would love the place (I wouldn't).
I am now feeling uneasy at this deception. Am I right to worry?

I also have no family support and a few close friends who I hardly see (as well as one or two locally who I do know are there if asked and I do see). I am very much on my own with a complex and difficult situation to unravel, which involves DC and DSC.

It is still much, much better than being subject to financial and emotional abuse and sexual coercion. Trust your intuition and your judgement.

Have you read the Lundy Bancroft book on controlling men? I stumbled across my copy yesterday and just one paragraph reminded me why I left and why I am still trying to resolve things as best I can for the DC involved.
