Is it normal to be left in the dark?

My boyfriends a great guy but I always feel like I'm walking on eggshells with him.
Problem is, I can't watch, eat, wear, or even think like his past girlfriends.
When he notices I resemble them at all (with my actions or hobbies) he leaves me in the dark, literally! He leave's the room and turns off the lights as if I'm not in the room.
When I meet him in the opposite room, I'll ask what happened, and he says "I was uncomfortable"
So because you're uncomfortable, I'm left in the dark like I don't exist?
If I mention them, we get into an argument.
If I watch a show one of them liked, we get into an argument.
If I wear anything that reminds him of them, we get into an argument.
But he can talk to everyone else about them, talk to their family members about them, and be completely fine with the conversation - and also completely secretive.
It's almost like he's obsessed (I mentioned this to him and he responded "I'm traumatized")
I'm having second thoughts as to why I'm in this thing in the first place, maybe he needs to do some self healing and I need to move on?

    Sounds like he's a control freak who hasn't gotten over his exes. He's manipulating you on purpose and he's going to keep doing it until you actually do something about it; his turning the lights off on you all the time is both really strange and pretty rude. This guy is so obsessed with his exes that he can't accept you for who you are, a unique and special person, and him constantly comparing you to them is both hurtful and unnecessary. Definitely have a serious conversation with him about this, and if he doesn't start making changes in the way he treats you, move on. This guy needs to deal with his past before he begins dating again, and you deserve better.

  • Well, sounds like you're causing arguments over him turning a light off. Is the man not allowed some time to himself? You're in his life, you're not his life.
