Now, one final, hard thing to put on the table - I don't know you or your situation, but there are also a couple of red flags that this could be an abusive relationship. The fact that he's cutting you off from other sources of support, the fact that you say he "flipped," the fact that he gets to control everything and you seem afraid to go against his wishes. Domestic violence doesn't always mean physical violence. It might not be this at all, but I feel like I have to put it out there, in case it is. If any of this resonates with you, I encourage you to reach out to support via family, friends, local organizations, or the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-7233.[/quote]

I'm sorry to say I agree with this, OP. Don't think to yourself, "He's not hitting me so it's not an abusive relationship." Please find a private time and space to ask for their perspective. Even if all they end up doing is listening or putting you in touch with a therapy network, I'm hopeful that our comments will allow you to find a new way of living for yourself. Nothing you've described here sounds healthy, fulfilling, or respectful. You are obviously a loving and thoughtful person with a lot to give. You deserve to have support. [/quote]
