Because apparently I'm not allowed to like nice things? And the cafe i mentioned liking is nicer than the other ones, yes, but i don't order expensive things. It's the same price as the not so nice cafe, so of course i'm gonna say i like the nicer cafe more? He always says as if I have to prepare for a hard life of struggle... when i'm literally in college studying to get a good job? Of course i'm not rolling in cash right now. No one is when they're in college. (2)

It makes me feel very awkward and defensive when he says things like this... because i'm actually not a very expensive person. I don't go shopping all the time or spend a lot on food. I actively try to save money. And it's not bad to be an expensive person, even if that was me. I could spend my own money. He didn't even know if I was spending my own money on that "fancy cafe". Which i wasn't but he knows I don't spend much anywhere?? (3)

He says hopefully you'll get a job after college (really he's HOPING i get a good job and get the hell out of the house), but he says be realistic that employers won't be running to hire you, based on your grades and resume. Like ok? I am very realistic. I know I won't get hired by Google or Amazon LOL. But i will find a decent job at a lower level company. And i want to get a good job because it will make ME feel good.

When he mentions anything about politics (he knows im a Republican, he's centrist slight left) the conversation ALWAYS gets too personal. Like an attack. If it gets to be about abortion, he says "you know if you get pregnant again we're kicking you and the baby out. And if your mom wants to help you i'm divorcing her". He's so aggressive for NO reason. I've been following all the house rules. Clearly stating I am careful now. He just is on a power trip. He wants to show how he controls
