My boyfriend makes me pay money and write a self-criticism every time I... make a mistake.

Recently, a love story of a Chinese couple posted on the Douban forum has left netizens confused.

"Recently, my boyfriend has been doing things that give me a headache.

Every time I made a mistake, he would say that he had to punish me, either by fine me or by writing a self-criticism. During those times, I transferred 3,000 yuan (about 10.5 million VND), and he had no intention of paying me back.

When I was punished, I always did as he asked because I felt that I was really at fault for making him angry, and I should make up for it a little for this relationship. But gradually, I discovered that he got angry more and more often and always over small things.

Every time he got angry, I had to coax him, and this angry process lasted for a long time. I couldn't express my opinion, nor could I have my own feelings. Once I expressed my dissatisfaction, he would say that I had made him angry and still dared to have my own feelings, then blame me for not realizing my mistakes.

In short, "I made him angry" became a universal shield so he didn't have to make an effort.

I tried to communicate to resolve it. But every time we tried to resolve it, he felt that he could not forgive me and did not know how to resolve it. He felt that once he got angry, he could not forget it and could not overcome this obstacle.

How to convince my boyfriend to change this personality?

After reading the post, many netizens felt "helpless" with the female lead's situation.

"I thought it was some kind of punishment, but it turned out to be a fine. How can you still love him?", one user commented.

"This is really eye-opening, there are even men who fine their girlfriends? Where is the emotional value, it turns out this guy is making money from love," another person wrote.
