I know what it’s like to date a “Jekyll-and-Hyde” behaviored man: nice one moment, nasty the next. I knew enough to get out of the relationship. The abuse is progressive -- it will only worsen over time. It is a cycle & it will tear down your self esteen & leave you wondering about your sanity. Leave.
Controllers don't realize they will create the exact opposite of what they want. Controlling behavior will actually create distance between you & your girlfriend. Opposite of what they think. They belittle you, but they think is's ok so you will become a better person in their mind. They think their perception is the way it should be. A controlling person defines you based on their idea of an ideal image. What you feel & think will be be replaced by a controlling person's definition of how you should feel or think. Find the strength to leave this type of person, no matter if you're a woman or a man being controlled. Life will be better for you without constantly worrying you're doing the wrong thing. Believe me, it has for me.
