Men have been to be in the forefront in controlling their women. These relationships always turn out to be abusive with negative effects. If you want to know what type of relationship you have with your man, here are common signs men who control their women portray:
You are his everythingA guy who controls you will make you his everything. By this, he will always want to know your whereabouts. He will infringe on your personal space and will never want to leave you alone. He will always want to be near you. When he wants you, he will always make sure he is with you.
Lesser contact with friendsIt becomes an issue when you often contact your friends. It makes him insecure and he will always ask you to cut down on the contact with such friends. Such men can’t take it when you spend time with your friends for long or even go out with them. They always think your place is right there with them.
Different rulesWhen you set rules with such men, they always want the rules to apply differently on the two of you. The rules must act on you but they change them when they think they have gone against them. These men are controlling you when they want you to do something for them but you can’t ask the same of them.
His interests are importantMen who control you will always put all their priorities and interest in yours. What they do is try to kill all your interest and opinions so that you may follow in their steps and way of life. They don’t see a problem when they ask you to forego your planned meeting with your friends to join him, but they will never cancel theirs for you.
He is never at faultHe never agrees on his mistakes. Guys who control too much will always think that everything that goes wrong between the two of you is your fault. More so, he is always ready to shift the blame to you even when you get him pants down.
