Hi I told my friends about this and they told me I should leave him so I thought I would get a second opinion.

My boyfriend and I want a traditional relationship where I submit to him and as such he was talking about punishments if I don’t comply. (Eg if I don’t spend my money on what he wants me to, he punishes me)

He apologized when I pointed this out but I still worry about him being too controlling. We’re both Muslim and he’s pressuring me to wear the niqab. I want to wear the niqab but I’m worried about the pressure.

I really don’t want to break up with him because he’s the only guy who will wait for marriage with me who’s also a progressive Muslim white convert.

I’m not sure what to do. Thoughts?
