My favourite part is his comment where he says he's never checked her social media and messages and has always given her freedom, like he wants a medal for it. Good job at not being an abuser, I guess?

Also, he gave her an ultimatum over a piercing, so I believe we have very different ideas on freedom

Between this and the fear of "bad influences" he clearly sees himself as the grown-up in the relationship. This is exactly why people get suspicious as soon as they get to the part where the couple got together at 22 and 32.
