[quote=Anonymous]My experience is that it is often childhood trauma and/ or SN. They mask well at the beginning, because they do want to be with someone.
I left one because of physical abuse. He has attacked and yelled at a lot of people. He is the first to tell you that he and his family have some mental problems. 
Second partner was undiagnosed ASD. Imagine how rigid he became over time when he got tired of masking. I wasn't allowed to see my friends and my love language had to be like his - 'together, but separately'.
How does this not rob me of my sparkle? We used to visit my friends together. This didn't have to change.
When I tried to set boundaries and went to see my friend, he locked me out. Who does this?
None of you can say that this is the behavior of a mentally healthy man? 
I left and he killed himself. His family doesn't want to talk about ASD, because they all have it.
I can think of about 30 other men I have met over 30 years and maybe 10 women, all with some kind of problems. Not easy to dodge them at all. People are sick from within. You can't see it right away, but it will come out at some point.
OP, I would get out if possible. Life is so much better alone and just casual dating.
