Split with partner

I recently split with my fiancé of 9 years due to him cheating on me multiple times and we have more than just us to think out we have a son who I don't want to grow up thinking that it's okay, but he just told me he doesn't want me to see anyone else? He doesn't think I should ever see anyone else
He doesn't see saying that is controlling and he doesn't get a choice in that say, a bit lost what to say as what I've said already hasn't made a difference
I don't want to be with one I just want to be me and my son as he's my main priority

Tell him your will commit to abstinence when he does..

You don’t have to say anything. Has nothing to do with whatsoever.

You don't owe him anything. Communicate about essential things about your son and ignore anything else. He will never understand your point of view and you're wasting your time attempting to get him to understand. Congratulations on escaping!

Tell him to fuck off. You're single and can do as you like.

This is absolutely about him trying to control you.

So it's OK for him to cheat on YOU while you're in a relationship, but dear God no you can't ever have a relationship with anyone else?

I think you might need some counselling to be honest. This sounds like an emotionally abusive relationship and not fair in the slightest.

As long as you go along with his commands, you are not free.

You also don't need to tell him anything about your life. Just communicate about your son. 'Grey rock' everything else (google it, if you haven't heard of it before). Best of luck. x

So, after repeated cheating and you two splitting up, he's told you that you should remain single forever? I assume you fell into a fit of uncontrollable laughter?

Seriously, just ignore. Roll your eyes etc. Also, hopefully you have at least one friend or family member who you can share these ridiculous comments with so that you can laugh together? DH and I entertained each other for WEEKS with some of BIL's most outrageous comments to SIL.
