Is this controlling behaviour?

[Art202]

My DP of a year doesn’t want me to have male friends around to the house for drinks when he’s not there. He also doesn’t want me to drink in the evenings during the week, even a glass of wine or to discuss him or our relationship with my friends. He also doesn’t like it if I go braless, show my midriff or wear gym leggings unless actually in the gym.

I’ve never given him reason to doubt that I’m faithful.

How can you be helped into leaving your abuser?.

He is now showing you who he really is after a mere 12 months. This is usually around the time scale that abusers show their true colours.

He wants to keep you in a cage of his own paranoid making, he thinks you’re going to run off with another man. It makes me wonder if he has cheated on you or had thought about doing so.

Controlling behaviour is abusive behaviour and so your relationship to him is over. The only acceptable level of abuse in a relationship is none.
