He is being abusive and in the UK this sort of behaviour – coercive control – is a crime
I met my current boyfriend a year ago, when I moved to his country for work. But I feel I’m going crazy and I don’t know what to do.
One month after meeting each other he had already said he loved me. One time, I told him I was meeting an old (male) friend for a drink and he gave me an ultimatum: if I met him, he would break up with me. He has gone through my phone multiple times and has said he doesn’t want me to meet my best girlfriend because he says she’s disrespectful. He has said he doesn’t want me to go out later than a certain time in the afternoon (I don’t go out much anyway). He has said he hates my dog and has given me an ultimatum: him or the dog. He has said he’d come with me to meet my family but cancelled at the last minute.
