This 22-year-old woman is concerned that her boyfriend, 21, is way too controlling in their relationship.

They have been dating for more than a year, and recently, they’ve been arguing quite a bit.

“I feel like he is starting to become very controlling and manipulative. I have been trying to prevent it from happening, but I don’t know if I’m right or just delusional,” she said.

Even though her boyfriend claims to trust her, she doesn’t believe him. Over time, she doesn’t have much independence because her boyfriend doesn’t allow her to do anything without him.

Sadly, she doesn’t hang out with her friends much these days. And when she tries to make plans to see her friends on rare occasions, her boyfriend fights with her about it.

Also, her boyfriend demands that she tell him when she leaves her parents’ house, and he becomes furious if she doesn’t answer a text from him soon enough.

Annoyingly, she can’t even look at her phone with her boyfriend asking questions. He always asks her what she’s doing or who she’s talking to. If she gets a text, he asks who texted her, and if she’s looking at something on her phone and laughs out loud, he has to find out what she was looking at.

Several days ago, he was convinced that she was cheating on him because he said that she was taking her phone with her to the bathroom too much.

“And because I ‘have been acting strange with my phone lately,'” she explained.

Recently, she and her boyfriend were hanging out on the couch, and they were both just looking at their phones. She saw an item online that she thought would be cool to buy for her room, so she took a screenshot of it so that she could remember it.

Of course, her boyfriend wanted to know right away what she’d taken a screenshot of and why. Since he does this all the time, she is understandably sick of it and got angry with him.

When she responded in an irritated tone, he asked why she was mad. She explained that it’s frustrating that he is always so nosy about what she’s doing on her phone or who she’s texting. However, she’s told him this before, so his behavior hasn’t changed.

She continued and told him that she was tired of having to walk him through every single thing she was doing.

“He got mad at me and said he just can’t do anything right for me and that I’m always mad at him. ‘It’s a matter of respect to let each other know what you’re doing, especially on your phone.’ So, I said, ‘No, it just feels controlling. Like you don’t trust me,'” she shared.

At this, her boyfriend became more frustrated and reiterated his point about how it’s respectful of your partner to tell them what you’re up to. In his view, most couples share everything going on in their lives with their partners, and he couldn’t comprehend what she was so upset about.

After their argument, she still stands by her view that her boyfriend is taking it too far with how much he seems to want to control her every move. She doesn’t know if she overreacted or if she’s misinterpreting her boyfriend’s behavior.
