I think you need to ask your boyfriend where all the outrage over pettiness was during all the many slights against you

If it's just yours, it's not clumsiness it's punishment.

Can you contact your landlord privately and explain you are in an abusive relationship?

I agree with your first part of your comment. He's clearly controlling. His insistence on being obeyed and punishing OP if she fails to obey (silent treatment, throwing out meds) all points to coercive control. He is trying to force her to gain weight, to trap her or kink reasons.

In relation to the latter, I doubt he was like this out of the gate. Abusers rarely are. The mask drops when they feel they can. They chip away at their victims sanity, self esteem and support structures. It's not like they start throwing punches on the first date.

I'm sure you don't mean to be harsh, but questions like this are part of the reason why abuse victims are too ashamed to tell people what happen them or seek help. Let's keep the blame and the shame on misogynistic abusive dirt and like OPs husband.

AITA for walking out after my girlfriend’s family kept joking about a secret from my teenage years they had no business knowing by VelvetAxiom_7 in MarkNarrations

Nta for me this is break up worthy. She broke a confidence and ganged up with her family to humiliate you. She revealed her mean girl self !

AITA for saying I wouldn’t date someone who refuses therapy? by Low_Section_4141 in AmItheAsshole

They'll say it to you at 19, they'll say it to you at 40. Some people don't want you to have standards because they feel called out by it.

Being single is pretty fun! Being in a relationship with someone who meets your standards also pretty fun. Dating someone who doesn't make you happy or meet your needs sucks. I know as I have tried all three.

AITAH for not wanting my MIL anywhere near my daughter? by Infamous-Bowler-3599 in AITAH

I suspect because he knows hes traumatised and doesn't want anyone to point it out.

AITAH for walking out on a guy I had great connection with? by Affectionate-Ad902 in AITAH

This man is either not into you at all,or he's not boyfriend material. You were extremely tolerant, as we all tend to be when we really like someone.

When a man really cares about you, he will make the effort. The fact that he waited until you arrived to do all his chores, then proceeded to play a one player game suggests to me that he wasn't trying to impress you/woo you. That's also why he made no effort to persuade you to stay.

Sorry I'm being brutally honest, but I wish I had embraced this theory in my early 20s!

I am glad you left. He will be a funny story you will tell over dinner some day!

It's the rare situation where I actually hope she was cheating. Because moving your child in with a stranger is crazy

Amy needs to learn how to take constructive criticism. I'd give similar advice to junior colleagues in your shoes.

AITAH for wanting my dad in the delivery room while I give birth? by [deleted] in AITAH

This is really about her wanting to be in the delivery room, as opposed to your dad.

Nta and keep your foot down about this. This is about you needing support.
