• The first time he had sex with his ex-girlfriend she dumped him so we can not have sex or I will dump him.
• I am expected to attend all family events both local and out of town even though we've never been intimate. 
• We have been dating for quite some time. None of his friends know who I am.
• Several of his friends think that I am an escort.
• He has prior commitments with his friends on every holiday or special occasion. I am not part of those traditions so I am not invited to attend.
• He refuses to pay rent.
• I need to drop everything I'm doing and pay more attention to him.
• I have to shut down my small business so that I can spend more time sitting on the couch with him.
• I am not allowed to be sick or unhappy.
• It is my job to make sure that he smiles so that he doesn't get sad.
• My cat is not allowed to be on the couch.
• Cigars smell good and smoking them in the house is a necessity.

• I am allergic to certain foods but I have to eat them so that I don't cause problems for other people we are with while we are out ordering in a restaurant.
• I am not allowed to go to game night because I will make other men uncomfortable with my presence. He is protecting me by not inviting me.
• The fact that I am interested in him sexually turns him off. He would much prefer it if I were utterly disgusted by him.
• I'm not allowed to pay bills. If he can't afford it then we can't have it. Even if I have the money to do so.
• I am expected to perform sexual acts at a moments notice even if I am uncomfortable or sick.
