I feel like I'm in an abusive relationship and I don't know how to get out of it.
I am 25(F) in a relationship with my 31 (M) for the last 5 years. For the last year I have been feeling that this relationship is just downright toxic with the things that he expects from me.
He wants me to abandon all my support systems and be fully emotionally dependent on him for all kinds of needs, I should have no close friends and abandon my parents or any kind of acquaintances for anything at all.- felt like a huge red flag, my head sounded like a ambulance siren when he said this.
He wants me to tell him what I do with my money that I earned by working a job. - he actually wants me to ask permission but is too nice so he masks it and says please keep me informed so i could save you from spending on unnecessary things.
Doesn't want me helping my parents financially when I could- again ambulance sirens.
Constantly accuses me of having an affair with someone in my workplace or online because I am withdrawn from the relationship.
He asks me to dress a certain way and not show skin or wear fitted dresses because that's not what good women do. I started dressing baggy and purchasing dresses a size bigger because he keeps instigating fights about this.
In the name of being blunt ruins special moments or holidays by commenting on my dress ory body.
Wants me to abandon my career and pursue something futile.
Wants to get married to prove my loyalty
He did not behave like this in the beginning. It happened slowly like a creeper plant creeping on a wall. Compromise is a part of a relationship and any marriage but it feels like I am the only person changing anything for this relationship and all these signs happened in the past year and I have been not at ease ever since I started seeing this pattern.I don't know how to get out of this.
Edit: Also I have gained a lot of weight and I am struggling to lose it and all of this has triggered my Binge Eating Disorder
