10 Signs He’s Trying To Control You

2. Criticism
It really doesn’t matter whether it’s about big or small things but he criticizes everything. He tells you that the way you dress isn’t appropriate (even though it is) and, even though you do know that it’s not right, you still go and change as you want to maintain peace in the house. He criticizes your cooking, the way you walk, the way you talk to others. Nothing is good enough and you start having that mindset as well.

3. Conditional love
He doesn’t love you in a way where he’s accepting of all your flaws and your imperfections, because we all do have them and they are as lovely as everything else on you. But he makes his love conditional by telling you that he will leave you if you don’t do a certain thing for him. He will tell you that love means something else in order to make you obey his twisted mind. He gives you deadlines to do a certain thing or says he will simply stop loving you. Is it really that simple? Does he love you at all?

4. Telling you that you owe him something
For everything he does for you, he wants something in return. If you came home to a romantic gesture, be ready to be asked to do something for him, because you always have to pay a price. It’s not OK if you know that the person for whom you’re ready to conquer the world really does take advantage of it. Even if he does as much as you, he will also find a way you can pay him back for it.
