Ray, it’s been a while. I’m glad I found this piece. And sorry for the experience, man!
One thing I’ve learned about women, especially the ones who complain about men being too controlling is this; those women often do not have boundaries with the opposite sex and usually don’t show respect for their partner or relationship.
I used to support women and say “yes! Some men are controlling.”
But as I grew older and from experiences, those women are far from being innocent.
When I read your story, the first red flag for me, was when she started complaining of him being too controlling. When she obviously has the need to be controlled, which it obviously something she lacks—self control!
I hope you’re doing better man!!?? Stay strong!
