Dear Suze Q. My partner of 2 years sometimes frightens me. He slapped me once but apologized immediately and was very sorry. I'm shy and I've allowed him to make most decisions but lately my wants don't count at all. We only do and see who and what he wants. I sneak to see my family and friends to avoid a fight. We pool our money and yesterday he said he'd take over finances because I spend too much. This isn't going in the right direction.
Dear Isn't Going Right. DAMN STRAIGHT it's not. 1st red flag -you're scared. You should NEVER be scared or abused in any relationship. 2nd red flag -he's controlling your time and money. You can't let this happen regardless of his reasons. 3rd red flag -he's isolating you. Without others to give you guidance and help, his power over you is absolute. If things are this bad, have your friends help you with an exit plan immediately; seek help for legal, financial, and psychological protection; and never let this person near you again. Next time could be lethal. -SQ
