    Difficult one...

    If I cared about someone and found what they said interesting, I would also be interested in reading what they said in a discussion forum like this, and continuing the conversation by saying what I thought about their ideas in face-to-face discussion with them. However, if that person objected and asked me not to do so, I would respect her boundaries...

    Personally, I think that you should have used your original name when making this post ....he would then see what others think of his behaviour!

    Maybe this is the time to re-evaluate your relationship...

    from someone who has been in a controlling relationship, it definately does not sound normal behaviour has he acted odd or controlling in any other ways.

    I would say please consider getting out now before children get involved xx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    To be fair, he's probably going to be able to work it out anyway if he sees the post unless the only thing he does is search the OPs posts.

    He sounds possessive

  • If it wasn't your boyfriend but a stranger or a colleague, or friend, what would you think OP?

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Im sorry to judge as I don't know you or him but he sounds really creepy and I can just imagine exactly what your saying. Im sorry to say but I would get rid. I am first to admit ive been the biggest mega !!!!! to my bf and not once has he ever done this. or acted in this way. You need to look at it if it was your mum, sister, daughter would you stand for it seeing it happen to them? only you can decide But people like that only tend to get worse not better. Hope you find some strength within your self to do the right thing :)
    it might not be much, but its better than a kick in the teeth:rotfl:

  • it is a new thing he did recently

    when i asked him to stop he told me
    every thing is in the public domain but it is the sly way he did it

    he tells me i am over sensitive if i get upset

    when other people around he is polite and caring to me he is very sarky when we are alone

    From someone who is now divorced from a control freak I would advise you that this is controlling behaviour. My ex was (and probably still is) 'such a lovely bloke' in public, however he controlled me in private. How I left him I really don't know, I look back now and wonder where I got the strength from? but I did. OP please have a long hard look at your relationship.

    Sorry but if I were you, I'd dump him pronto.

    Good luck x

    So from the other side of the coin, why doesn't he trust you? Has he a reason not to trust you? We're only getting one side of a very one sided story thus far.....

    Just wanted to add that I find your partner's attitude weird and creepy and I feel you are in a dangerous situation. He sounds insecure and controlling and I fear his controlling behaviour will only escalate.

    I don't think the fact we have a one sided story, or that he may have reasons not to trust you, come into it at all. He is sly and manipulative.
