He Has Tons of Secrets

If there is always an air of mystery surrounding your man’s life and his whereabouts, something’s up. While it’s not your man’s responsibility to tell you about every single thing that’s going on his life at every moment, if you feel like he’s hiding something and he refuses to address your concerns, he’s probably hiding something. A lot of these secrets may involve a number of different girls. He may be chatting with them on social networks or speaking with them over the phone now and then. Even if you ask him who these girls are or how he knows them, he just brushes off the conversation or avoids talking about them all together. If he’s doing this, it’s a huge red flag.

He’s Controlling and Manipulative

The worst part about being manipulated in a relationship is that quite often, we don’t even know it’s happening. Manipulative people twists your thoughts, actions, wants and desires into something that better suits how they see the world. They mold you into someone that serves their own purposes. One major sign of a controlling and manipulative boyfriend is constant guilt tripping. If he can convince you to feel guilty for your actions, even when you’ve done nothing wrong, then he knows you’ll be more willing to do what he says. Another thing a controlling and manipulative boyfriend will do is force insecurities on you. If he can do this, then he can control how you act towards him.
