A young woman was verbally attacked by her 'toxic' and jealous boyfriend after he discovered her doctor was a man.
The girlfriend explained that she went to a follow up appointment for a head injury and was sent to a hospital where she was allocated the next available doctor.
Later, when she was sending her boyfriend an update by text, he was quick to comment on the fact her doctor was male.
She posted the bizarre text exchange to Reddit where it sparked a heated response from outraged men and women.
The suspicious man interrogated his girlfriend, asking if the doctor 'smiled and s***' to which she replied she wasn't sure as he was wearing a mask at the time.
She was then asked if the male medical professional had touched her anywhere and she explained that like the female doctor before, he had 'patted down' her legs.
'What's the point of this, your brain is not in your legs?' the furious boyfriend shot back. 'That's weird and not needed...did something happen?'
The young woman insisted it was all innocent, but the exchange then escalated with her boyfriend demanding to know what she was wearing at the medical visit, and whether it was 'revealing' or not.
The girlfriend went to a follow up appointment for a recent head injury: 'I got sent to a hospital where I could not choose my doctor,' she explained
A 'paranoid' boyfriend interrogated his girlfriend after the hospital assigned a male doctor to complete her follow up appointment
The young woman said that she was wearing a tank top and jeans, which weren't revealing, but her boyfriend wasn't placated.
'I don't like this at all,' he said.
When the girlfriend insisted that the male doctor was more thorough than the female doctor she had seen initially, and actually listened to her instead of just prescribing medication, the boyfriend's temper took a shaper turn.
'Oh good, great, he listen to you...f****** a*******,' the boyfriend sarcastically replied.
The paranoid partner insisted on talking further to the young woman when he next saw her, refusing to believe that the visit was as innocent as she maintained.
The boyfriend was slammed as 'extremely toxic' after the woman shared the text message exchange on Reddit
The boyfriend was unanimously slammed as 'extremely toxic' after the American woman shared the text message exchange - with many urging her to leave the 'controlling and insane' relationship.
'Not to be one of those Redditors who says to break up with him instantly...but you need to break up with him instantly,' one woman said.
'This isn't okay behavior. It almost sounds like the gender of your doctor is more of an issue than your actual health,' she added.
'Girl, this better be a joke otherwise you need to leave him immediately,' another agreed.
Another argued that it was much better to just be single than to date someone who was jealous, insecure and verbally abusive.
'I'd rather be lonely than miserable,' they said.
Many urged the original poster to stay safe, saying that the boyfriend's behaviour was a major red flag and that things were only likely to get worse the longer they dated.
Others thought that the boyfriend's paranoia might actually be an indication of his own tendency to cheat.
'There's a good chance he's cheating on the original poster already. That paranoid, controlling behavior is a pretty good sign based on previous experience,' one woman observed.
Beyond the jealous and insecure behaviour, others slammed the boyfriend for objectifying the young woman by asking what she was wearing.
This isn't the first time that a man has been criticised for demanding that his partner limit their interaction with the opposite sex.
A relationship expert recently came under fire for saying that women should block men on social media if their partner asks them to.
'When she gets a text from a guy you don't like, say: 'Block that guy for me',' Jake Maddock said in a video.
'Your ideal partner will do it straight away,' Jake added.
People were quick to respond that Jake's behaviour had no place in a healthy relationship, and that women shouldn't simply cut men out of their lives to make their partners feel secure.
'Controlling - it's a red flag,' one woman said.
'RUN!' another chimed in.
