Control Freak

A control freak is any person who must feel that they are in control at all times in a relationship. The key word here is feel as control freaks are seldom logical and their behavior at all levels reveals their emotional insecurities. Control freaks are mostly men who tend toward the emotional side, have a lack of confidence, and does not realize that the only kind of control a man can have is self-control.

Although a control freak seeks to be dominant, he doesn't understand natural domination.
