• 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.

• 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.

• He goes out of his way to prove me wrong so that I can see that he really cares about me.

• I need to make sure that all of my things are out of the washer and dryer as soon as they are done so that he doesn't have to touch them when he has to do his laundry.
• Only his cat is allowed to sleep in the bed with us. My cat has to stay in the living room. 
• My bedroom is a disaster and it embarrasses him when his family visits.

• He already knows exactly how he wants everything to be done for our wedding so there's no reason for me to even think about picking anything out that I might want for it.
• The only color Christmas tree that is allowed in his home is green. All Christmas ornaments should be red and green and maybe gold if they are nice enough.
• I thought that maybe since he was calling me all the time and that we were sleeping together that maybe we would be a couple again but it turns out that he's still engaged to someone else and has no intentions of leaving her.

• His brother and his brother's girlfriend are expecting a baby so we should have one too.
• He only eats his mother's spaghetti sauce so every time we want to have spaghetti for dinner we are going to have to go to her house. We also have to let her know a few days in advance because it takes her two days to make the sauce.

• I told him I loved him, but he wasn't able to tell me that he loved me as well until four years later when he got engaged to somebody else.

• He makes plans for me and then doesn't tell me until ten minutes before we have to leave the house.
• I have ten minutes to get ready or we are going to be late and people are going to judge us.
