Oh my God. I can't quite believe this! These are controlling behaviors? Asking someone to call you? Wanting them to let you know if they will be home for dinner? Sure, these things could be handled a different way, like telling them exactly why you want the call..."I worry. Could you just let me know. We miss you...we just like to hear from you". Yeah, stuff like that. And you say...I have learned not to expect anything of him? Is this what we've learned from DB? No thank you. So even when married you wouldn't expect him not to cheat on you? Because wanting him to be faithful is controlling. Hmmmmmm
