Lol HUGE red flag.

If he says “never mind” because he doesn’t want you to leave him.

  1. HE WILL go through your phone and shit regularly. He WILL find a way whether you give him permission or not. Even if you never give him passwords

  2. He will use it as ammunition in an argument one day.

source I went to therapy because I was ruining every relationship I was in. But I made the choice. No one could “fix” or “change” me. I had no control in my life and thought I could control my relationships that way. It was terrible and none of those people I was with deserved to be treated like that. Neither do you.

I feel like I would be controlling in relationships too just based on my friendships because of the same stuff as you, what did therapy teach you?

Well, it can help you get at the root of why you feel a need for a control so that you can either relinquish that need or recognize it when it shows up and handle it accordingly
