Controlling Boyfriend Buys Girlfriend New Car To Use It As Leverage In Arguments

When people are in relationships, they often get so invested in the good that they're unable to see the bad. The number of friends we've seen fall for guys that aren't good for them at all is insane. Because what they had was good at the beginning, they remember all the good times instead of focusing on the very, very bad things that they shouldn't have gotten involved with in the first place. When we try to set the record straight, they deny their significant others' behavior or say that they'll get them to change. But we all know the truth. Toxic guys rarely ever change. They only say they will, and we shouldn't believe empty promises. In today's 'Am I The A$$hole?' post, OP shared how her boyfriend bought her a new car even though she was perfectly happy with her old one. Of course, she was thrilled to get a gift that she didn't ask for. However, that's when her boyfriend started acting loud and obnoxious, drinking and telling her she should worship him for buying her the car. She doesn't want to argue or leave because he wasn't like this before, but this behavior is obviously her first red flag to get out. Scroll down for the toxic details.

We love gifts just as much as the next girl, but it's north worth it if someone is using the gifts to have control over you. It means it wasn't really a gift in the first place, but rather a tool to control you with. We need to understand the difference because it's integral to having our autonomy in relationships. Gifts shouldn't be used as bribes to convince someone to stay in a relationship, and if that's what someone is doing in order to keep the person around, it's a major red flag. When it comes to manipulation tactics, best to be on the lookout.

We don't care what happened to him at work that day. We all have bad days, and OP shouldn't be excusing his crazy behavior. It's so clear that he only bought her the car so that he could bring it up every time he acted poorly. Even though he's not physically harming her, he's still emotionally harming her, and someone needs to set the record straight that the behavior is completely unacceptable. Like she said, she didn't even ask for the car in the first place, so he obviously got the car for sinister reasons and he's not even trying to hide it.
