Today, after years of torment by my anxiety disorders and therapy and medication not helping, I've made the decision to try hypnosis. After doing a Google search and finding out my therapist is a man, my overly jealous fiancé insisted on joining, "because he might hypnotise you into cheating." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my boyfriend tried to hypnotize me into breaking up with him. FML
Today, I finally told my boyfriend that I see a therapist every week because, amongst other things, I'm terrified of being locked in a room. He didn't believe me, so he locked me in the bathroom "for a laugh." I had a panic attack and passed out. FML
Today, my fiance finally began seeing a therapist, after months of my begging him to. The therapist convinced him that he and I had "irreconcilable differences" so now he's asked for the ring back. FML
Today, the most manipulative man I know decided he's going to get me to be his next wife. I'm still in therapy after breaking free from growing up in a violent and manipulative household. He's working with me, so there's limited options of getting out of his presence. I'm scared for my sanity and my freedom. FML
Today, after I tried to break up with my boyfriend, he said he won't give up on us and asked me to go to therapy. According to him, “You might need medication for how you feel.” FML
Today, after therapy for obsessing over every woman who talks to me, all I could think about was how I could seduce my therapist. I think I still need a lot of help. FML
Today, I realized I can never live with my fiancée. A childhood of systematic teasing, abuse, and humiliation has made me terrified to use a bathroom around a guy if there's the slightest chance I can be heard, seen, or even have anyone know what I'm up to. Therapy has yet to fix anything. FML
Today, I went to the hospital for constant dizziness and insomnia, and was diagnosed with anxiety. I figured out that the main source of my anxiety is not my job but my boyfriend, who has avoidant personality, which makes him constantly refuse almost everything that I request. He's a guy who just doesn't know how to show his love. FML
Today, I was writing in a journal as part of my therapy. I jumped and hid it when my boyfriend startled me by coming in. He now swears I must be cheating, that I’m keeping secrets from him and I trust a stranger with my personal thoughts more than I trust him. That’s kinda the point of therapy. FML
Today, my anxiety has been so bad, I have had vivid dreams of my boyfriend of 6 months cheating on me. This is not the first time these dreams have happened, and I know for a fact he is not cheating. My anxiety is going to turn me into the crazy girlfriend from hell. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

maybe you need to have å talk with him about his jealousy.

He sounds a little too overbearing

Tell him he's not welcome. You won't be able to be fully open with your therapist (which is a must if therapy is to work) with an audience. if he doesn't accept that, then maybe you should start examining other areas of your life. Is your gynecologist a male? If so, does he insist on coming to every pap smear? Are you allowed to go places alone or just you and the girls without getting a third degree? when you are somewhere without him, does he call you or insist you call him every few minutes "just to make sure you're safe"?

I remember a story coming out of Australia where a dentist was having sex with his patients once he rendered them unconscious. I realize this is an extreme case, but perhaps he's not as jealous as he is concerned for your welfare. It's something to consider and discuss.

this almost makes OP's sig other seem reasonable. I can get being concerned and wanting to be there if it's about worry for an unconscious person (does hypnotism actually make you unconscious?) instead of "don't cheat on me". but he did say "cheat" instead of "rape" so

Get out now. That's going to be trouble down the road.

Heads up... This is how the rest of your life will play out. And he's probably half the reason you need therapy.

Yeah, he shouldn't need to go but I don't think he was referring to OP as a cheater. He might have been talking about the therapist taking advantage of OP.

I think its a valid concern, have you ever been to a hypnosis show, and watch a family member get hypnotized. People don't realize suggestive hypnotism is real. Im not saying he's right, but this understandable
Algorithm 24
Have you ever heard of anybody using hypnotism to make someone cheat on their partner? Ever? OP's partner put a weird hypothetical unrealistic fear/insecurity above finding a solution to a real and immediate problem that's put them through a metric **** ton of fear and pain. I'd be pissed if someone put their trust issues on me like that.

Yeah giant red flag right there. Might think about getting him some therapy too.

I know anxiety hurts, but if you let your man push you like that, he's the one causing your anxiety, and you just don't get it. Anyone who suspects you are cheating, and you aren't... They are usually the one cheating.

Look into "Emotion Code". My doctor suggested it for my anxiety and I started meeting with a psychologist who specialized in it. It honestly is incredibly helpful, and really, you don't even have to talk if you don't feel comfortable. I highly highly recommend it
