How do you stop your boyfriend from trying to control you?

Not that he has much luck with it, I'm pretty headstrong myself, but I still don't like it. Actually, I should clarify- he's not so much controlling as he is overbearing. yeah, overbearing is a better word for it.





Examples... Doesn't think I'm ever right in an argument, always tries to push his way only (he listens, but he tends to never have faith in anyone other than himself being right), and tries to think for me in arguments- tells me I don't know what I'm talking about so he has to do the thinking for me. (I'm a rational, intelligent, reasonable person- I don't feel that he should think there's any good reason to think for me)





He never acts like this when we're not fighting, in fact he's very kind usually, but he becomes terribly overbearing when we're not getting along.





Thanks, I need a little help here, overbearing types make me so mad!How do you stop your boyfriend from trying to control you?
You need to sit him down and tell him your a grow-up and you will not continue too be controlled. Be sure to say it firmly so he knows you are serious. In fact it would be better if you stood up. Tell him you will know longer put up with him speaking for you,as though you can't do it for yourself. Tell him that he had better listen up because your not going too repeat yourself. Tell him if he wants too continue this relationship with you that he will learn what respect is,and do it in a hurry. Ask him if he would want someone asnwering for him? Ask him if he would like someone putting him down in front of other people?Tell him you don't like this sort of behavior,and don't be smiling when you say this,say it firmly and just once and walk out,leave and let him have time too think about what you have said. Let him be the one that comes back crawling. Tell him that physical are verbal abuse will not be put up with by you,from now on. Tell him that he needs too go see a professional doctor about all of this. But if he say's no then leave and move on with your life,however be careful because men like him or the one's that become stalker's. Learn some self-defense and learn how too shoot a gun good by going too a shooting range where you can be taught. By yourself a gun,but be sure too get it registered in your name,so if you have anymore problems with this guy,you will be able too take care of the problem. Also be sure to put up good lighting at your home are apartment,use timer's for extra safety. Get and alarm put in your home our apartment,leave it on day and night. Also get yourself a phone that has a tape-player with it,so if he start's saying mean things too you on the phone you'll have something in the way of evidence too show the police,call them if this starts. Alway's keep the police's number on speed-dial on your cell-phone or home phone. I wish you all the luck in the world,you might also want too have a friend with you,when you speak too him about all of this,in fact do it in a public area,for more safety. Better too break if off now before it get's any worse. And whatever you do don't let him sweet talk you in too coming back to him,because if you do it could really be dangerous for you.Good Luck and God Bless You.How do you stop your boyfriend from trying to control you?
Trust me when I say the more you speak up the more he will want to make changes. If you let things constantly slide when they bother you, that is ignoring the problem and eventually you will begin to resent him. He probably doesn't even see what he's doing when he's doing it, how can you expect change when you don't tell him what you'd like changed?
How old are you? You might need to take a break from your bf. All


relationships have problems but it seems like he is too much . Maybe he needs to grow up a little. Develope some emotional maturity. Finding the right person is tuff enough. But its worth the wait.
Some people never change, so you might have to live with this.





Meanwhile just stand up for youself, and during a rather hot argument slip this point out to him, that you have just told us.
for me, you should leave him. cause if you cant stand him now how will handle him when you got married to him. don't torture yourself with guy who cant compromise cause their ego is too big to listen to other people suggestion
i've been in this situation before and you need to tell him how you feel. Communication is the building blocks of a relationship.
And I'm warning you that it doesn't get better. It only gets worse as they get older. So, if you don't like it, move on, you will not change him. I promise you that.
it s called the heat of the moment every one gets all heated and says **** they shouldnt and if it only happends when u 2 are fightin then u got nothing to worry about





be happy he isnt like it all the time
Leave him NOW
