>Are you or were you in a controlling relationship? I just got out of a controlling one. He isolated me from family and friends. Made me give up school and all my hobbies so i would have more time to cater to him I get an allowance per week that is how controlling my wife is she takes my check too My ex boyfriend used to tell me not to wear heels because it made me look like a slut I was with this guy that said he hated it when i wore short shorts and wouldn't talk to me if i wore them. My ex husband told me who I could talk to i my family, how to have my hair, how to raise my so from a previous relationship, ect My ex wouldnt let me have any money, he would fill out a check with the store name filled out, and i could only buy groceries My ex would take m on walks and tell me what i need to change about myself. And hated me wearin make up. He also cried all the time to make me look bad I just ended my marriage of 16 years. He was so controlling that he chose my friends for me. I wasnt allowed to have or hang out with friends that he didn't approve of. Hell yeah. I was isolated from everyone and if he found out, I got my ass kicked.....never again!!!!! My 1st husband would tell me how 2 workout, what i could & couldn't eat, that i looked fat pregnant At a party at a friends house and her boyfriend sent her upstairs to paint her toenails because he was embarrassed to be seen with her in sandals Had an old BF that would tell me I needed to tan or use certain lotions My ex was so psycho jealous of everyone we went down to Mexico and there were a bunch of us but when we'd pose for pictures he wouldn't even let me stand next to the guys in the group he'd pull me away and would control what pix I posted on my Fb and whos statuses I could or couldn't comment on ...crazy!!! I was in a controlling abusive relationship I couldn't have friends or see my family he took away my phone car and had people watch me to make sure I stayed In the house I ended up loosing my job and almost my life I was dated a guy who would answer my phone My ex fiance would give me an allowance each week, and monitored the money I would spend down to the penny. Thank God I ended that. My hubby is controlling. Tells me how long I can be gone, how many miles I can drive, how much money I can spend. I came home from the library and he told me I couldn't read 2 of the books I checked out. He controls the amount of time I spend with my family and is creepy when a friend comes over to visit. (listens around the corner, checks up on us, etc) Made, me change l my FB account, but he has one. I am 42 years old, 2nd marriage. Needless to say we have been separated for 7 months and will likely divorce. :-/ Mi ex wife always controlling n checking txt,email, tell me how much time to go to work n back home.. My ex wouldnt let me answer the phone or the door, would make me take the bus and drop me off work and he would take my car My ex-husband wouldn't let me go anywhere unless he was there. I was barley aloud to go to work. He even broke into my office at work at 2 am to put on a keylogger on my computer to see everything I was doing (plus one at home). After 6 months of not finding anything he told me when I complained about my computer being slow. I can't even start to tell you the crazy things he did after I left him and divorced him. Let's just say restraining order!! My friends husband is a pilot and she gets 300 miles per month to drive...he checks when she gets home to make sure she hasnt gone over. if she is close to 300 she has to walk everywhere. she has 4 little boys too. I had a boyfriend that wouldn't let Me wear make-up and I couldn't wear tank tops. Also, I couldn't talk to any guys. He would get on the internet and get girls numbers My girlfriend would go through my phone and change all the female contact numbers by one digit. I still haven't straightened it all out.
