When acts of service become exercises in control

My boyfriend's love language is acts of service but he only wants me to do things exactly his way, so helping him feels like being criticized and I've stopped trying.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

The desire to be served can disguise the need to control, transforming loving gestures into power struggles.
