Controlling Relationship (Sometimes you may not even realize it)

Have any of you been in a controlling relationship and not realized it, or perhaps still are? What are some red flags of being in a controlling relationship. I think sometimes when people think about controlling relationships they think of someone actually directly telling you what to do, but I don't think this is the case. I think sometimes people can control you without having to say those magic words like "Do this" and "Do that or else." Are there hints to look out for? Maybe in the bedroom even? Could even some of their fantasies that must come alive in the bedroom every single time such as being dominant or having to tell them you are their $#@$% (female dog) a sign? Or could this just be a fantasy some have, even if they are not normally controlling. I was very curious about this topic. What are your views?

I have been in a controling relationship and I was too shy to say anything. My ex husband was very controling and we went to counseling. Even after counseling he didn't realize he had a problem! I divorced him and the therapist recommended he continue....but he didn't. Why? because he didn't have a problem!
