    Yes he puts on this high pitched sarky tone and quotes things I posted


    Ok - that's not alright. If you just had a problem with him reading comments that you had put on a forum I'd say you were overreacting. But he's using it against you and that's not on.

    That's really rude and really disrespectful.

    You should have posted under your real name and then he can see what a tw*t we all think he's being.

    to be fair most people would just occasionally search for their other halves posts and not mention it.

    So he is being odd by mentioning it to you and using it against you.

    Everyone is entitled to some personal space and privacy, to share thoughts and opinions without having another read all of it, and then start quoting it all back to them in conversations. Has your boyfriend explained why he does this? When he quotes what you have written back to you, is this done in a positive or derogatory way?
    The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own, no apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.
  • You are not over-reacting, everyone is entitled to privacy.

    The fact you have told him that you don't like it, and he says it's not wrong, is disrespectful of your space and right to say something makes you feel uncomfortable. He doesn't seem to be listening.

    Is he doing anything else that makes you feel stalked/uncomfortable, or just this MSE forum stuff?

    he did this when we first started going out long time ago but he stopped then when i told him it was not nice

    it is silly if i am in the den and go upstairs he will come and look where i have gone
  • Is he manipulative in other ways as well?

    To be honest I'd get shot of him before I resorted to ditching my user-name.

    he does it to make a point i think but i do not know why
  • So, he's spying on your browsing-history as well? That's completely and utterly creepy and controlling.
  • i did think this but i wanted to see other opinions in case it was me being precious
