I am so annoyed. I wake up to him being a jerk, so I go back to bed and Then he wakes me up to yell at me about a Fb post that simply says- Always on my mind,

I don't go no where, I don't talk to anyone outside his family and I don't use any chats except here, where I don't chat with anyone very much beyond the Hi, how are yous?

Grrr, Can he ever think positively. He makes me life difficult and I don't want to deal with his shit if this is what is it anyways going to be with him.

None of us needs any more difficulties and frustration in life.

Have you talked about this with him? Sounds like he has you isolated, which can be the fertile soil for spousal abuse. Just saying, having been there, and done that a few times myself.

It is your fiance, yes? These are not good signs. You sound unhappy atm. I am so sorry. Having been with my husband 15 years, the bad habits and tendencies tend to get worse over time...this is likely your finance's best foot forward. And to be fair, the same applies to me and you.

However, with that said..I adore my husband, and I take the good with the bad..you just have to figure out what YOU are want to and are able to live with.....I do believe people can change with the right help and willingness. You can grow together but only if both parties are on the same page with that. Hope that makes sense.

I am currently in a bad relationship. I hate it and I can't get out of it just yet. He is so controlling and I understand where you are coming from. Take care and do have a talk with him about it.

Sounds like you are isolated and stuck with contrarian type of person who is disagreeable. That sounds like a recipe for trouble.

Can you expand your social network so that you are not just focused on him? And can you set limits on him in terms of his trying to control your activities? It sounds like a firm boundary between the two of you needs to be set here. Couples don't always have to be into each other's business day and night. That's not healthy.

This also reminds me of another member whose husband told her to stop using DS and then things really went downhill. Turns out DS was her best support system in a very dysfunctional relationship.

His overreaction to a Facebook posting does not bode well. He sounds like someone who rages over nothing; those people can be abusive.

I'd talk to a couples counselor before you get married. And I'd broaden your social circle so you are not cut off from the world.
