Where are you going? Who’s going to be there? What time are you coming home? Where have you been? Who is texting you? Do you hear these questions a little too frequently? Then you are living with a control freak. It’s natural to be concerned where your partner is going but some men are just a little too overboard. If your man can’t accept when you say, “Hey, I’m going to Danielle’s house to study” without asking 100 questions, you’re in trouble..
You can handle this type of situation one of two ways: I prefer RUN! If you can’t get your guy in check, it’s time to move on. You don’t want to spend every day being miserable and afraid to leave the house in fear of a confrontation. Other than being insanely annoying, it’s totally frustrating and unhealthy.
Nobody needs to know where you are and what you’re doing 24 hours out of the day. That’s just creepy. Are you required to tell him every time you have to use the bathroom? Or brush your teeth? If you’re in this type of situation, you seriously need to consider getting out. Men who develop these habits are prone to have anger issues, which could lead to abuse in certain situations. If he doesn’t get the answer he wants or you aren’t where you’re suppose to be and he flies off the handle, this is a red flag.
If you don’t want to leave him because the situation isn’t that severe, then a long talk is in order. You need to be firm and let him know you appreciate him worrying but you will not ask permission to do the every day things that you need to do. Don’t back down- let him know you are serious. It’s common courtesy to give your mate personal space. Everyone needs privacy. As long as you aren’t sneaking behind his back doing things you shouldn’t be doing, he should trust you. If that fails, revert to paragraph two!
