me (23F) and my boyfriend (24M) have been together for 3 years, since we met in college. he used to be super affectionate and supportive of me and in my studies, always taking me on dates, buying me things, and treating me like a princess, but recently he's been telling me to know my place as a woman. he always held the door open for me, but now he says "if you're an independent woman you can open the door for yourself" or "you can buy your own stuff". he is constantly telling me to get back in the kitchen and get him coffee and do all these things for him, and is telling me I can't do my normal life until he is satisfied. I guess maybe I'm too hard on myself, I just wish my place wasn't so below him. I love him so much but the way he is treating makes me cry myself to sleep every night
