My partner treats me like a child, telling me what time to go to bed | The Sun
DEAR DEIDRE: MY partner treats me like a child, telling me what time to go to bed and to brush my teeth. I’ve had enough.
I am 55 and my partner is 57. We’ve been together for three years and live together.
He’s very negative and disagrees with everything I say.
He criticises my dress sense, the way I style my hair and my make-up.
He never seems to be interested in anything I have to say but wants me to pay attention to everything he talks about.
He sometimes walks away into another room when I am talking to him about something.

It is very offputting. I feel it’s ignorant and dismissive.
I am beginning to give up on this relationship.

DEIDRE SAYS: I am not surprised. Coercive control is not about him simply being bossy, it’s about being dominant.
He is basically saying your opinions or feelings do not count.

That could be because he does not agree with them, or that he is uncomfortable dealing with them.
