He critiques everything you do: It may seem like he just wants to help you. It's not true. He is criticizing your behavior as a way of flexing his control muscle.
He tells you what to do with your own body: Whether it's monitoring what you eat, convincing you to take an exercise class or preventing you from getting a tattoo, there's a point when his concern for your health and appearance can become obsessive.
He puts down your girlfriends: Controlling men have a way of keeping women away from their gal pals. One of the telltale signs that he's slowly cutting you off from your friends is his readiness to bad-mouth them.
He doesn't support your interests outside of him: If a man's insecure and controlling, you can bet he doesn't want you doing anything to improve yourself, unless of course it's for him.
He doesn't trust you: If you can't drive his car, make dinner reservations or walk your dog without him overseeing your every move, he's officially gone from protective to overbearing. When your man doesn't have confidence in your ability to do even the easiest of tasks, it's a sign that you'll always be a sidekick, and never a soul mate.
OMIG......sounds like me!!!! i,m a single 30yr old female , and i keeping asking myself why am i still single , when i,ve had so many chances, to have a nice friendship, at least, with mutiple men. yet to me they all seem wrong to me for some reason and i pull away always. When they don,t fit my version of what a man should act or be like, i instantly brush them off, no matter how long we,ve dated....
I don't know if I should call him a control freak or what but he is the type that it's his way or no way, he always likes to talk about stuff that he is interested in at the time and he can be talking about 3-4 things at one time sooooooooooo much confusion going on there. What is a girl to do OMG help me please any tips.
