Discuss the behaviors you feel are unacceptable. This should be an explicit and private discussion in which you can openly talk about the types of behaviors that you do not want to tolerate in a relationship. These should be limited to issues that you are not willing to compromise on. Here are some examples of behaviors that you may feel are unacceptable: Asking you to stop hanging out with your friends, especially male friends, without a good reason. Telling you what to wear, or making comments if he feels you are wearing something “inappropriate.” Calling or texting you repeatedly while you are away from him. Going through your phone, email, or personal belongings. Requiring explanations for your every move throughout the day. Making you feel guilty for needing to change plans for a legitimate reason.
