Let him go

[Inexperiencedchick]

Was dating someone
Let him go on Tuesday saying “I don’t feel like touching him anymore” and “Please find someone else for yourself”

All the crap he started dropping from the beginning was to make me feel guilty or manipulate me, or change me.

• I should wear a skirt/dress than jeans, as that’s what he likes;
• I shouldn’t be having a shower so often...
• A woman in the family should be the one to cook...

Many more little signs...

The shower thing killed me, and I did say I will walk away.
He started saying why I react like that instead of trying to adjust. That I’m so rigid, etc.
For me it was over as it is my choice when to wash myself.

Can not believe how these men think it’s normal to tell women what to do.

Just a bit sad today...

It sounds like you’ve dodged a bullet there. What an arse.

You both want different things, so well done on getting out early. This was never going to go anywhere

A friend said it will get worse...

Why to ruin things and mix his wants from a woman with reality?

You've had a lucky escape. You will never meet his (high in his opinion) stsndards. My stbxh wanted me to wear a mini skirt & heels to walk the kids to school...... I used to walk through a muddy wood! The next thing is he'll be asking you why you dont dress like other women.
Good luck. Enjoy life doing what you want to do xx

He expected make up from me while I’m not the makeup person at all. I told him I won’t use it.

I was just constantly asking myself “who do you think you are to tell me what to do?”

Yes; good decision

OP, you just need to let it go. You’ve made the right decision. Some people like being submissive & being told what to do, he obviously values himself mega highly (based on what you said, I really can’t see why) but, you’re never going to be able to change what he thinks, wants & expects.
There’ll be lots more people suited to what you want & likewise, he may find what he’s looking for.

Stop giving him any more headspace, you’re way better than that

Yes it would have got worse.
Well done for recognising it sooner and ending it.
Now stay strong.
Have a look on-line and try to do the Freedom Programme.

Good job you saw the signs while just dating. Don't be sad it's just one of those things.
Some men (people) think they have the right to oppose their wants on others, you recognised this and decided it wasn't what you wanted, good for you.
Time to move on.

Eurgh, dodged a bullet for sure.

My ex was a controlling nob as well.

He told me I couldn't text or take any pictures with my oldest male friend and said I had to get rid of my dog because he annoyed him (his literal words were "It's me or the dog"). Bear in mind I'd known him for all of six months.

Glad to be out of that one!

NotSo can’t believe he made you choose after 6 months only.

Well I shouldn’t be surprised with what I had in only 3 months time.

In You'll look back on this soon and say PHEW!

Hopefully, but today I’m hurting.

He knows what he was doing but wouldn’t say “perhaps I upset you, I’m sorry for that. I shouldn’t be telling you what to do, you know better.”

He tried very hard to see me on Tuesday, as it was my BD. And the crap he was saying that he booked the hotel-restaurant to have a dinner, which I didn’t believe.
Why? Because one day after Valentine’s Day we were supposed to meet and I have asked him to go for a walk. I didn’t ask him to take me somewhere for a dinner or something else. I just wanted to have a walk with him. We stayed indoors until 10pm, and then popped in to the local supermarket. And before going to the shop he even dropped some sarcastic jokes saying “he thought I’m still in the bathroom.”
That was a full stop for me, and I kind of visualised the future with him where we dislike each other so much that it becomes a bitter battle.

As PP said I should look at the freedom program in order to be able to move quicker from all that.
