[QUOTE="ButtterflyLady, post: 917462, member: 43498"] I agree with all of the above. His behaviour is inappropriate. But I caution you to be very careful in how you approach the problem, in case he gets angry and things become unsafe. I have been in an abusive relationship and the number one rule is: safety first. An audio recording might be as effective as video, and is easier to do without being noticed. I would expect him to get angry when he finds out he was recorded. If you decide things can't be fixed, and you are going to break up with him, plan carefully so you are safe throughout the process. Domestic abuse support organisations can give advice about how to do this. I had support from one when I left my ex. A person who has been abused is at the highest risk around the time of ending the relationship. But sometimes, it is what needs to be done. You have a right to feel safe and be safe. If he can't guarantee that, then sadly you have a decision to make. I am guessing that his family and anyone else he has lived with have tolerated his behaviour, but now he is living with someone who is not prepared to tolerate it (and good for you). IMO his family poorly prepared him for adult life with T1. [/QUOTE]
