She’s Frustrated By How Insecure Her Boyfriend Is Because He Keeps Trying To Control Her
This 25-year-old woman has been dating her boyfriend, who is also 25, for about two years. But he has always been super insecure.
“And to this day, I still have no idea why,” she said.
At the beginning of their relationship, she thought that her boyfriend was such a “green flag.” However, as time went on, he started to become much more controlling– revealing his insecurities to her.
It all began when her boyfriend started asking her pretty invasive questions about her past relationships. Then, he didn’t want her to show her shoulder in public since he believed it was too “revealing.”
On top of that, she is not allowed to be friends with anyone of the opposite gender.
“But I hear he contacts girls without my permission sometimes,” she said.
“And he does ask for my opinion sometimes.”
More recently, though, her boyfriend totally stepped over the line after making a pretty bizarre request. Out of nowhere, he asked her to change her personality and wanted her to “dress more gothic” and “smile less.”
For context, she usually wears cute tops and dresses, so suddenly turning “gothic” would be a drastic change for her.

Now, she claimed that her boyfriend is not otherwise mean unless they’re in an argument. Apparently, he always buys her thoughtful gifts and introduces her to important people in his life.
Her boyfriend also is not an only child, either. Instead, he grew up with three older sisters– which is why she thought that he would have learned to be more respectful.
“But during arguments, he completely denies that he wants anything to do with me,” she vented.
So, she is often left feeling pretty confused by her boyfriend’s strange requests and behavior. She’s also just fed up with how insecure he is, but she’s not sure whether being annoyed by his insecurities makes her the jerk.
Would you be able to date someone like her boyfriend? Does it sound like they have a healthy relationship or not? Do you think she should stay with her boyfriend or consider moving on? What would you do?
