Any time that I wasn’t working or at school was wasted if I wasn’t spending it with him, so I wasn’t allowed to leave the house without him. The one time I dared go to the beach with my friends he yelled at me in front of my best friend and called her a bitch. He threw out my clothes that he didn’t approve of because he didn’t want other guys to see me in revealing clothes. (I live on a hot island off the coast of Texas, shorts are necessary, y’all). He didn’t like that I was/am vegan, so he’d constantly buy large quantities of dairy and throw them away in front of me if I refused to eat them. He said he thought he was helping me because deep down, that’s what was best for me and what I really wanted. He used that justification for a lot of things. From coercing sex, to trying to get me to take a semester off of school and quit theatre, it was all because I really wanted it and he was playing the bad guy for my own
