I was really listening to him and I did validate him a couple of times with "sorry to hear that" and "sorry you feel that way".
The more I control him the further he goes. He even told me that my actions were pushing him away and that one of the reasons he left was because I was so controlling and he felt he didn't have ownership over his time.
Hi Jen! Great job on the validating!
As for the controlling issue, I heard the EXACT same things from my H. Although there may be some truth to their comments, it seems to me this is pretty typical WAS spew.
