Seems it. Who would need to ask if this fake situation was abuse or not? It's weirdly attention seeking.

Definitely abuse.

He is using your situation against you ➕ is definitely abusing his power within.

I should have added, I shared this link because coercive control is not yet recognized as criminal behavior in most US jurisdictions, although all of the behaviors are recognized by domestic violence advocates as part of the pattern of domestic abuse - you can look up the power and control wheel here: https://www.thehotline.org/identify-abuse/power-and-control/

Men who engage in coercive control almost always escalate at some point to physical or sexual violence. That said, sometimes the first instance of violence is also the last - because it’s lethal. This is especially true at the most dangerous time in the relationship - when the victim attempts to leave or leaves successfully. This is why it is critical that as you move forward hopefully with intention to get free of this person, you engage in safety planning with a trained domestic violence advocate around the logistics of starting your new life. Sadly you must anticipate the worst in order to best protect yourself against it.

You deserve better, and your daughter deserves to be free of the witnessing of this kind of controlling behavior.

Thank you for this.

Of course it is.

Are you even happy? Do you enjoy being treated like a child? What a bizarre dynamic. I'd be leaving asap.

This. 100% this. But if it were real, it is 100% abusive.

But, if mostly true, the OP probably needed a wake-up call as her post makes her seem sloppy & lazy.

So, if true, not abuse as OP needed to get away from internet & phone in order to clean up her mess.

My former BIL used to do this to control not only my sister but their teenagers.

OP, your partner is dangerous. My BIL escalated his abuse and became physically violent with both my sister and their son. That’s when my sister finally left. She told me later that most domestic abuse starts as emotional and gets worse. Please get out.
