Is it normal that significant other is controlling?

Just the other day me and my boyfriend got into a huge argument after he called for me to come to bed and I took an extra minute to finish doing my nightly routine which he is well aware abt. Granted he is traveling in the afternoon I feel he shouldn't hve been upset with me. He stated he had to call on my name 3 times before I decided to come to bed and it upset him b/c he has to wait every night for me to be done and that I should've at least done w/o the routine for one night being that he would be traveling the next day. But it's crazy b/c we were both doing our "nightly routine" but he just happened to be done before me and went to bed soon after. Am I wrong? I told him he has controlling issues. And I need guy's perspective as well.

    WTF is he thinking? He called you three times and you didn't come running? Well, no shit -- you aren't a dog or a child! He might have a point if you were late for something, but you were just going to bed; you are an adult and get to pick your own damned bedtime. You do not have to go to bed just because he's tired.

    What is it to him if you finish checking your email or moisturizing your face or whatever? Ugh, yes, that is controlling. Prisoners and people in mental institutions have set bedtimes and mealtimes; fully autonomous adults do not.

    Tell him to step the hell off and stop expecting you to come when you're called like a pet. That's inexcusable.

      Just listen to this. I was going to leave a comment but they basically said everything I was going to.

    I understand that people can be paranoid when they're away from their partner but what the hell, your not his mommy.

    I'd say grow up and check under the bed and in the closet for yourself.

    Guy's POV:
    He's being unreasonable.
    There you have it.
