This. My XH was also verbally abusive and controlling. It started out with controlling. He would look at the odometer on the car to see how many miles I had driven each day. Then it got really weird. I would walk the dog and if I did not get home soon enough he would start flipping out and ask me where I was.

I'm 21:14 poster. I found the controlling and possessive got worse over time. My XH was not controlling when we were dating but he was definitely
a love bomber and possessive while dating. The controlling and obsessions about me started after we were married.

Listen to your gut. I'm with a great guy now.
