Abuse

» hl87 - i feel stupid posting this....

Okay, i feel really stupid posting this because i really am not even sure i'm in an abusive relationship...especially after reading about all the horrible stories in this forum.
i'm only 19 and i've been with my boyfriend for two years. he loves me very much, and i love him as well...however, recently he's become so controlling. he hates when i go out to parties, when i wear sexy clothes when i'm not with him, when i drink or smoke, when i see friends who he thinks "aren't my friends," etc. He says if i don't change my behavior for him then i don't really love him. he's making me feel like i am a truly bad person for doing these "bad things" that hurt him. i know it doesn't really sound like abuse so much, but i can't help thinking it is because of how controlling he is of my life and my choices. i don't know what to do.
sorry, just had to rant a bit. i'm quite conflicted.
