A woman left netizens horrified after revealing the level of censorship her boyfriend subjects her to.
It’s fairly common for couples to decide their own boundaries in a relationship, but one woman’s revelation has left people asking her if her overbearing boyfriend is in fact her dad.
Taking to Reddit, the 22-year-old shared that she had been with her partner for two years.
He regularly asks her what she’s watching, which she initially assumed was a sign he was taking interest in what she does.
However, the problem arose when she began watching Netflix’s Sex Education.

Her partner told her he did not like the fact that she was watching sex scenes on TV.
She said: “I usually just skip over them anyways because they are too detailed and long, but that’s not good enough apparently.
“He blatantly told me to stop watching it and I said no and we had a big fight about it.”
She then asked for advice on the forum, asking if she should ‘stop watching the show and apologise’.
Several people came to the woman’s defence, telling her that he was being controlling.
One user asked: “Is he your conservative Christian dad or your boyfriend? Why the hell are you tolerating this behaviour?”
Another reiterated that she had no reason to apologise: “Don’t you dare apologize you didn’t do anything wrong tell your boyfriend if he doesn’t want to watch it it’s okay but he’s not going to tell you what you can and cannot do he’s not your father and even if he was your father as long as you grow he can’t tell you s***. “
A third succinctly said: “Wanting this type of control is a huge red flag.”
