What would you do if told by your other half you were not allowed to be friends with anyone of the opposite sex?
This has just happened with me. I’ve lost a good friend because her boyfriend won’t allow her to be friends with any guys. He’s threatened to end their relationship if she even follows them on twitter.
I, personally, think it’s disgusting mental abuse, and pity her greatly for falling for it, for not being strong enough to notice the first signs of an ultimately destructive relationship, one which will crush her self-esteem (it already is) and self image.
That’s not to say I’ve never suffered from jealousy – I have – but it’s a demon I believe I now have conquered and I’ve not felt the related emotions for a long time. I haven’t, I hope, done such a disgusting thing as he has, though.
What would you do in such a situation? Tell him to get the fuck out, or get on all fours and let him rape your self-esteem until you’re a shell of your former self?

The guy is obviously very insecure in his manhood! Such a shame that women get pulled in to such crap.

Elise would be more than happy to fly over and forcibly remove this guy’s testicles…

Dude, I would kick them so fast to the curb they wouldn’t know what hit them – that’s freaking emotional blackmail and shows a distressing lack of character
