You’re Not The Boss Of Me! 9 Signs That Your Man is Way Too Controlling
3. He Takes Out His Insecurities on You
Most times, a man who is trying to emotionally control his girlfriend or wife is one who is insecure, needy or possessive. If he has no control over his own life or feels lost, he may try to control you in order to give himself a false sense of power or security. So if he’s lacking in his career, feels dependent in the relationship or like he isn’t worthy of your love, controlling you is his way of making himself feel more in control of something. Don’t let his insecurities dictate your relationship. You can only do so much to make a man feel validated. He has to build his self-esteem and know his worth on his own; if he doesn’t, there’s nothing you can do about it.
