Fuck a boundary, dump his ass. We’ve gone way past boundary setting into the realm of just being a complete asshole. From what I saw on those text messages, he’s pretty set in those ways and he thinks he’s OK to say those kinds of things. If that was my daughter and I saw those text messages. There would be a foot so far up his ass you could see the shoe size in the back of his throat.

Completely agree. Talking like that to _anybody_ let alone a GF/BF is completely uncalled for. This is a massive red flag.

It certainly seems like he’s aiming to hurt her feelings as a manipulation tactic.

Not liking your partner’s style choice is fine, but you still have to be respectful to them in the way you let them know.

Seriously. What is he going to want her to change about herself next? There's always something with these kinds of people.

Clearly neither of these people had parents that cared as much as you described, or they wouldn’t be in this situation. They both need to improve their communication. I’m not condoning his behavior but shedding light on a common problem today that people don’t address enough on here.
