I started in a new relationship at the beginning of the year after a month it started.
“Who’s that texting you?”
“Who are you going out with on the bike?”
“Why did you wear your new jacket to go shopping?” (I kid you not)
Me “I’m just nipping to my brother dropping a birthday card off”
Me “Whats up?”
Her “Why don’t you want us to come with you are you ashamed of us/don’t want your brother to meet us?”
(I’d offered several times for us to go but she was always busy)
Me “No its just I’m nipping there and back”
Her “I don’t want you to go”
What followed was a short row and I finished it.
I don’t get how people think they can control you, never dream of doing it to anyone myself.
