1. He Puts You down

One of the top signs your boyfriend is controlling is that he constantly puts you down. He makes it seem like you can't do anything without him and that he is your entire world. He will tend to pick out every flaw you have and exploit it to the point that you start to believe you have to depend on him to be a better person. This will make you lose your own confidence and in turn, make you more vulnerable. Watch out for this ladies!

2. He Doubts You

He constantly doubts you and constantly doubts that you are telling the truth or even that you are going to tell the truth. If your guy is constantly at you about where you have been and doesn't believe you when you tell him, it could be a sign your boyfriend is controlling!

3. He Wants to Know Everything about You

Does your guy want to know every single tiny thing about you? Where you've been, who you've been talking to, how many hours it took to complete one task, how long it took you to get to the store and back – that's a sign ladies. You are entitled to your own privacy and you should never let someone bust through that!

Thinking...

4. He's Super Jealous

There is of course always going to be some sort of jealousy in almost every relationship, but if you find that your man is very, very jealous, this could be one of the signs your boyfriend is controlling. When he can't stand the thought of you talking to someone else on the phone besides him – watch out girls!

If you're looking to engage your partner in intriguing conversations, why not try some hypothetical questions for couples? These fun queries will not only keep the conversation lively but also stimulate deep thoughts and potentially reveal insights about each other's personality and thought processes.

5. He Doesn't like You to Go out without Him

Those goes hand-in-hand with the jealousy piece. If your guy doesn't want you to ever go out without him – even for a girls night, because he is jealous, it's a sign your boyfriend is controlling. You have the right to go out without your guy ladies, remember that!

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

6. He Doesn't like You to Have Fun without Him

Does your boyfriend also not like you to have any fun without him? Does he constantly degrade you when you get home from having a fun time without him? That isn't a good sign girls, and you shouldn't have to put up with it!

Thinking...

Please leave your email and we’ll get back to you on that.

7. He's Make the Decisions in Your Life

Another sign your boyfriend is controlling is that he starts to make any and all decisions in your life. Whether it is the restaurant that you go to all the way to the financial decisions between the two of you. He makes any and all of those decisions.

    Almost all of these describe my ex boyfriend. We broke up super recently. And I\'m trying so hard not to give in because I feel like I deserve much better. But he comes to me with all this stuff like who loves you? Who was your first? And he says no one will treat you like I did. Thing is.. He is sweet, he knows how to get my attention by all the little things. But the way he behaves (controlling) makes me doubt myself.... I don\'t even know what to think.

    OMG my bf has ALL the traits above, and you won't believe but I send him screenshots of my call logs and my texts and chats with my friends and even after sending that he says you've edited all that. He doesn't like me hanging out with my friends even with girls, and well guys... He just says that you can't. I have to ask him if I should go or not. He gets pissed if I try to explain or when it feels like I'm right he just says you're hurting and bullying me.. I mean whatever he says is fine but if I say smth that's totally wrong. I literally don't know his to get out of this tiresome relationship where I don't have a respect and I don't get any faith and trust. And he wants to marry me soon...
